Hi I am looking to see if anyone has been or is in the same scenario I will find myself soon!? I have been in Canada working on an International Experience Class visa for 2 years and have just activated my 3rd year. I am going to apply for PR through the Canadian Experience Class and as of Dec 6th I will have the required 2 years experience working in Canada. I have all of my documentation ready and I am waiting for my Police cert and will send my forms the day after I reach the 2 year experience mark.
The issue I have is that as the wait times are 12-14 months for the Experience Class application (maybe longer?) and I have read there is no implied status with this visa, my current visa will run out before the PR application is complete. I have read conflicting things about implied status, applying for an extension to me current visa with my initial PR application etc....
I would like to know does anyone know what options I have. My job are willing to apply for an LMO and a temp visa. Can I apply for PR and at the same time apply for an LMO and get a temp worker visa? Is this allowed or is there a rule on applying for multiple visas? Or is there an option to extend my current IEC visa for the period that I wait. Or should I forget about PR for now and apply for a 2 year temp worker visa and then apply having got 2 years on the temp worker visa.
I am really just looking for what options I have and what would be the easiest. If anyone else has been in this position any advise would be much appreciated.
