Hi Nonoo,

Congratulations for the decsision made. :) .. Just a question, did you also get a letter of your decision made, or it was just email?
 
Do i have to send a canadian police certificate if i've been here more than 2 years?
 
Guys,

I have been interviewing for jobs. And also waiting for OWP. Is it possible that companies allow to work, while we are waiting for OWP? I called CIC they said I can expect my OWP in two weeks time. And Currently I am on study permit. I could have also applied for Post grad work permit, but opted for OWP as I got AIP. Has anybody in this scenario before. I have this really good job offer, and dont want to lose it becasue of this OWP wait. Any help on this matter will be appreciated please!! :)

I have been in canada for more than a year. And I din include canadian police certificate with my application.
 
The application guide says that you dont need to submit a police certificate for inside Canada. The impression is that if you had a criminal record in Canada they will know when they check their database

Sadly, there's not much you can do in this situation. Just ask the employer to wait three weeks for you to start...

Good luck!
 
Hey gang, so I just submitted an application with schools in my area to substitute for the district.

Here's my question. I am awaiting the AIP & OWP from my PR application to go through. As such, I would then need to apply for a Work Permit with this school division as my employer. Does the work permit require security clearances from countries I've lived in for longer than 6 months?
 
Also,

NEW: We have introduced a new Application for a Work Permit Made Outside of Canada [IMM 1295] form. It comes with additional forms and an instruction guide. Please read the guide carefully as it contains important information on how to complete the form.

What do I do if I am applying from within Canada?

Hi,
According to my understanding am not sure you can apply for a work permit within Canada,:(....What I was told is you can only do so if you were a refugee claimant!!!-But I could be wrong!
