Hello all,
I've been working in Canada since April 2003 as an intra-company transferee. I've also been living with my girlfriend in a common law relationship since March 2005. I would like to apply for PR, and, if possible, obtain an "open" work permit.
I had a look around the CIC site and found the guide (IMM 5289) which seemed to be exactly what I was looking for.
Now for the questions:
My work permit expires in April, so it needs to be renewed. Should I send in the renewal (marked as "initial or renewal of work permit") on it's own, or should I fill out and send in the forums mentioned by the guide above, so as to try and process both at the same time (would I mark it as "initial or renewal of work permit" and "change of condititions" - and speicfy the common law PR application) or should I send both serparatley?
I did phone CIC and the chap mentioned an open work permit, but what I wrote down does not make much sense (my fault I know
), so I'm unsure as to wether to send both applications in at the same time, or one first then the other?
Thanks for any information you can give
