Hello, I am under LCP I think I am almost ready to apply for PR with option 2. I have some questions about this...

1. If I had authorized Vacations and I went out from canada, Can I count this time???

2. If I was paid for full time 44 hr a week in AB, can I count these hours even if I worked 40 or 42 hours a week.. which hours should I count: ones I was paid or just ones I really worked ??

4. One of my employer calculated the hours worked without count statutary holidays, I mean If a worked a full time a week (44 hr) but it was a holiday She didnt count this day... off course she paid me for that day but she said she can not count hours for that day cause I didnt work. Is She right?

3. Should I send the both application PR and Open Work permit in the same package?? or separate ?? Should I following the instruction for every one, I mean both of them say photocopies of every page of passport....should I have double copies?? according with the checklist I will need to send them to the same address but different office.... what should I do????

Please thank you, I really appreciate your help.

I am under the LCP too.Why do u pick option 2? I think it is kinda complicated somehow ,for me i picked option 1. I didnt even go for vacation,so i'm nt bothered.You must sent bot your PR and OWP to the same Address. since your work permit is still valid,i dont think you av to send photocopy of all other document for the OWP bt well you might just put it.

I just sent mine today too.Gud luck.

Hi rosell,
In option 2, you can send application as early as 22months granted that you completed 3,900hrs.
I'm single and no dependents.

Hi libra girl
I agree with rosell..

I guess you should have a valid work permit till they issue your PR, thats why most of the applicants are extending their contract for another yr w/ their employers till their PR will come out.

Still your case is different coz you were being laid off and its out of your control, chances are you need to look for a new employer to give you a work permit before you can go on w/ your PR application...

Again, I'm not so sure so about it so you better call them and ask for a concrete answer.
Best of luck!
