[elyxandria]

I have pnp but it's expired... so that's y i am hesitating... some people on this forum say i need to get support letter from pnp some say nothing needed... should I include expired pnp and aor ? Or should I renew pnp or get letter from pnp?

I submitted expired PNP certificate and got approved... I think they just need to verify if your employment has restriction using the PNP certificate...

I chose a work permit witht he same employer, although I was applying for open work permit.. I guess since you pay the open work permit holder fee it is OK..

sorry for being too questioning. In form IMM5710 under details of intended work in Canada section should i put the information of my current employment like name of employer, address of employer, job title and duties, duration of expected employment(what should i answer of this)? or should i not fill this up except the intended location of employment in canada. My provincial nomination is not employer restricted though. thank you!
