Not sure if any one has faced a similar situation before, i have not been able to find any discussions pertinent to my issue in the forums. Any help or advice is deeply appreciated.
I have been in Canada for the last 4 years on two work permits both of which needed LMIA approval. When i got my second LMIA i drove to buffalo border to get my TRV and work permit issued. The officer issued me a new visa that was eligible only for a year, stating that under new provisions i was only eligible to work in Canada for 4 years. I was totally unaware of the new rule, assuming he being the authority new better i did not question him. I did not realize my NOC falls under exception to the 4 year rule - i am NOC 0 and so i am eligible for another 2 year visa and limitation of 4 years does not apply to NOC 0 & A. I am wondering if i can go back to the border again and let them know that a mistake was made and have another two years of visa?
