Help please! I am a live-in caregiver and my work permit will expire this June 25,2016. I'll be going home for a month vacation to the Philippines and will be back on May 17. I phoned CIC that this will not be a problem as long as I can show the officer on the port of entry in Vancouver that I have applied for a work permit extension. But a friend told me that I should have atleast 6months valid work permit on my return to Canada. Is anyone else here on the same situation as mine? Sad part is I already have a ticket. PLEASE HELP and SHARE WHAT YOU KNOW. MUCH APPRECIATED. THANK YOU!

Thats not true.. As long as valid ang visa and wp mo, ur good to go. Just bring an employment letter, and proof na nag apply kna for extension. And you called CIC already, mas alam nila yun kesa sa hearsay...

Clarification of staying same employer

Hello would like to ask about policy regarding staying on same employer while your owp and pr is on the process?
Im wondering if ever you completed 24 months requirment for PR application.
And received your OWP, do you still need to stay in same employer even you already completed the 24 months requirment and you haven't received your PR result?
Can you resign to your current employer and look for another job?

Thank you

Once you received your open work permit you can look for another job. Any type of job.

Yes you can resign. FYI, you need to inform CIC when there is any chNges to your information, such as address when you move out.

Hello @Dimi2015

I can relate to this post.
How can I inform cic? Is it via phonecall or letter? If written, do you know which address to send?
Do i need to write a resignation letter to my employer?
Thank you!
