HI! I just want to ask for those who apply extended working permit with the same employer, my work permit expired last Feb., I was applied last Dec. for my extension through mail, unfortunately I still waiting for it.. bec I plan to submit my PR/OP this March, if I get it. I can't able to do my NBI bec. they required a valid work permit.. Question po for those who apply, how long would it take? for those applying PR and OP, if there's any result regarding in your application in CIC?
usually it takes 3 mos for extension of work permit. I applied for extension october last year and i recieved my extended WP january. As for the NBI, i got mine for about 2 weeks but i dont remember they ask me for a work permit. All i did was to sign up the application form and submit a 2x2 picture and pay the processing fee.Robcojuangco3 said:
Hi Poodle8, do you know anything about the $100 open work permit holder fee? Are live in caregivers included to pay that extra amount? Aside from the $155 processing fee. It was just implemented february 21. My friend is going to apply for pr and owp soon, so he's wondering about that additional fee.
Hi! Where did u read it? I actually haven't heard of it so i have no idea. Maybe its best to call cic and see what they say. If you may share it too here so we will all have that information. Thank you! By the way! Any news in your application? I hope they're not slowing down with processing :memei0422 said:

Notice – Changes to strengthen employer accountability under the International Mobility Program
February 9, 2015 —
Employer compliance system and fee
Starting February 21, 2015, employers hiring foreign nationals who are exempt from the Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) process will be required to submit information about their business or organization, the Offer of Employment form, and pay a fee to Citizenship and Immigration Canada.
As of that date, a foreign national who is exempt from the LMIA process will not be able to get an employer-specific work permit if their employer has not submitted the required information and paid the fee before the work permit application is submitted.
The employer compliance fee has been set at $230 and must be paid online. The fees collected will offset the cost of introducing robust employer compliance activities featuring inspections of thousands of employers.
When an inspection finds that an employer is non-compliant, the employer could face an administrative monetary penalty, a ban from hiring foreign workers and, in serious cases, a criminal investigation and prosecution. The adoption of this system will mean that all employers, whether they are hiring LMIA-exempt foreign nationals or temporary foreign workers through the LMIA process that has determined that there are no Canadians available for the job, will face the same level of scrutiny in their hiring and treatment of foreign workers.
The employer compliance fee does not apply to employers hiring foreign nationals who have open work permits. Open work permits allow the holder to work for any Canadian employer.
CLARIFICATION (March 2, 2015): If a foreign national who holds an open work permit wants to apply for a new permit for a specific employer, the employer must pay an employer compliance fee and submit the Offer of Employment form before the foreign national can apply for the new work permit.
New fee for open work permit applicants
A fee of $100 will be collected, also starting February 21, 2015, from open work permit applicants. This fee will be paid at the same time as the work permit processing fee and can be paid online. The fees collected will offset the cost of new initiatives to improve data collection on the role of open work permit holders in the Canadian labour market, as well as increased promotional activities to encourage open work permit holders to apply for permanent residence.
International Mobility Program streams that feature open work permits rather than employer-specific work permits include the working holiday portion of International Experience Canada, the Post-Graduation Work Permit Program, spouses/common-law partners of highly-skilled foreign workers and international students, and certain foreign nationals who are already in Canada waiting for the finalization of their applications for permanent residence.
Im also confused regarding that matter if Im going to pay additional $100 for open work permit holder fee or it is just $155 just like before.
Hope some can give us more information.
Thank you.

hmmn what i understand regarding this was its for those who are lmia-exempt workers under international mobility program. We do all have LMIA ( LMO before ). So i don't think we're included. But not really sure.bluemartian said:News from CIC website:
