Hello,
I wonder if you can help me with some questions about a Work permit application. I just received a job offer here in Vancouver, they want me to start on July 16th but I just want to make sure that I followed the right process.
I am a Mexican citizen living in Vancouver, got married last year with a Canadian citizen and we applied for my Sponsorship PR last May 1st from outside Canada via Mexico City. We are still waiting for the sponsor approval which might be done by the end of August. So far my status in Canada is as a Visitor valid until October 12th, 2012.
Last Thursday I applied on- line for a new work permit using the forms to Change my Conditions or Extend my stay in Canada according with the CIC web page http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/e-services/work.asp
According with the processing times now for a work permit is taking 32 days or so, what happen if the Job offer states the start day on July 16th? Is there any chance to get it faster.
I have been reading that as a mexican citizen I can apply for a work permit at the port of entry. Now I am confuse if what I did was the best choice or if should apply directly at the port of entry.
I hope that you can help me with any comment.
Thanks,
Judith
