1. when is ur workpermit getting expired ? u can apply for BOWP (usually its 4 month b4 ur expiry date )
2.Why they are taking ur workpermit ? if there is any legal reason contact a immigration lawyer

They are pretty much telling you that you are inadmissible to Canada. What was your examination at the port of entry like and why were you at the border? Did you misrepresent? do you have any criminal charges? was it something relating to your spouse? what reason did they give? I need more information to give you advice. The CBSA officer has written an inadmissibility report and if you haven't been issued one yet, you most likely will be given a removal order as well. If you can please shed more light on your situation. Best of Luck.

my work permit doesn't expire till sept 2014 but it was based on my previous marriage for which I am now divorced. Officer says my permit is no good and that I've been working illegally since my divorce! I spoke to an immigration lawyer before my divorce he said permit was ok till it expired.

does any one know the number of an immigration lawyer who would be open right now?

contact a lawyer, some time Border services make assumptions. He will give u a right answer

So you mentioned that you are currently divorced. Was it under the sponsorship application of your divorced spouse that you were able to obtain a your work permit and PR application. If it was then that makes you ineligible (unless there are Humanitarian & Compassionate considerations) and you ought to have also reported to CIC a change in marital status. Unless it could be considered misrepresentation.

So they took my work permit and gave me a visitor visa till nov 10. I didn't have a chance to get a hold of a lawyer before they called me back to the desk.
My PR application is under CEC and is based on 12 months full time work with NOC code 2255. Even if they don't count the time after my divorce I have 12 months.
I talked to a lawyer prior to my divorce and was assured I was good to go, makes me wonder if I can rely on anything they say, but I will get in touch with one in the morning.

I guess I should apply for BOWP tomorrow!

What is the difference between AOR and Stage 1 decision, the officer I was dealing with was not familiar with a AOR but said if I have Stage 1 decision on my PR application I might be eligible to stay due to "implied status"
