Hi
I've reviewed lots of threads about this topic but I am still not clear on what needs to be done - I would greatly appreciate some solid advice as I am stressing about this.
I will keep it as simple as I can:
I am in Canada on a SWAP/USIT 1year WHP. It expires in late September.
I am working full-time and my employer is willing to support me for long-term visa.
I cannot apply for LMO as my job wasn't advertised.
I applied for the Ontario PNP 2 weeks ago (I know its a late application but it took my employer a while to complete application). The process is not yet fully underway as my employer has to provide the attachments that go with the application form.
I'm aware that the PNP process will take 4 - 5 months if successful. This means that my SWAP visa will expire before I can get the PNP. I will stop work before my current visa expires in September.
My plan is to:
1) Apply for a Visitors visa roughly 5 - 7 days before the SWAP visa expires. It will take Vegreville at least 60 days to process application.
2) Stop working in late September (I will discuss keeping the job with my employer)
3) When the PNP comes back, get a new work permit by flag-poling
4) Apply for PR
Can anyone tell me if this plan is okay?
Will the visitors visa be granted?
Should I tell Immigration what I'm planning to do?
Will the flag-poling work?
Any feedback or similar experiences will help alot.
