Read about it at http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/faq/work/index.asp#low

The maximum time you can get is 24 months. Then you have to leave for 4 months. Then you can get a new work permit for another 24. Doesn't matter if you change exmployers, 24 months is still the maximum on a low skill permit.

Normally it´s not possible to apply for a permanent residency under low skill. There are a few jobs in AB and BC that qualify to apply under provincial nominee program with help of employer or if you qualify to apply as a skilled worker, you can do that after 1 year in Canada.

You can also try to get a skilled job or get the employer to promote you. If you got a skilled job, you don't have to leave after 24 months and have more options to apply for PR.

You need to get a drivers license here. Alberta has truck drivers under their semi skilled program so if you were a truck driver, you could apply for residency.

my visa expires under this July '09, and its under the low skilled pilot project as well. so even though i my boss still needs my services i will leave the country come July and have to wait back home for it to be renewed? i thought there's a new policy on this wherein you remain here while its being re applied for renewal? answer back anyone .... please

According to http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/faq/work/low-skill-faq06.asp you still have to leave for 4 months but I do remember a member on this board who was on a low skill permit and knew some other people who were who said that sometimes they issue a new permit right away, possibly by mistake, who knows but you can try apply for a new one right away and see what happens.
