Hi all,
I am currently on a working holiday visa that expires in a couple months. I've read that since extension for IEC are not allowed, people who hold working holiday visa cannot benefit from implied status if they apply for an extension. My question is: if my employer files an application for LMIA before my working holiday visa expires, can I benefit from implied status while they decide? I found a page on the immigration website that states "You may still work while your case is processed if you submitted a completed application before your work permit expired. If your work permit expired no more than 90 days ago, you may apply to restore your temporary status and for a new work permit." but it does not clarify whether "LMIA application-based" implied status applies to working holiday visa holder...please tell me it does.
Any feedback you have will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
