Hi Guys, This is my first posting on this forum, since i feeling hopeless, i want some advice from you guys.
I came to Canada as a student (mechanical technician) then i got three year work permit, everything was smooth then this express entry system kick's in. I am at 390 points. I applied for LMIA recently, approval chance are very low :(
My work permit is expiring in March 2016. I wonder if there is any way I can extent my work permit or any other possible solution.

Thank You.
 
you can only extend your work permit once your eligibility is passed .. means youve applie for your pr under expres entry and got AOR or a positive on your eligibility.

the work around is you can apply for an extension regardless with whatever you have right before your work permit expires and wait for them to reply or respond. you can legally work as long as youve applied for your work permit and till a decision is made.. these days the processing time is around 5 months if you apply online so you can atleast work for another 5 months till your wp application is rejected till then you probably get your pr under express entry.
 
also easier than LMIO is provincial nominee.. apply for that and submit your file as your points will go up if you get the nomination

I would say this is a good option.. And I did try this way once and it actually did work.. So go ahead..
