My timeline:
My employer applied for LMO at the same time when I applied for a new work permit. In the meantime (June 2014) the law changed (transition from LMO to LMIA) and my LMIA was annulled (Not refused!). My employed re-applied under the new LMIA rules but my work permit app got refused since there was still no LMIA. I was given 90 days to restore my status. I was hoping that I will get positive LMIA very soon so I applied for a new work permit. My employer still didn't get the answer so my work permit application got refused again. That time I got this in the message from CIC: "You are a person in Canada without legal status and as such are required to leave Canada immediately. If you do not leave Canada voluntarily, enforcement action may be taken against you.".
I left Canada after 7 days and came back in 2 months after I got a positive LMIA. I statred working again and applied for PR through Express Entry after I got ITA. I passed medicals and was asked to upload Schedule A where I answered that YES, my work permit application was refused once and YES, I was ordered to leave Canada once. I also explained everything with much more details (dates, numbers...).
So.. What do you think? I'm really worried about CIC stating: "You are a person in Canada without legal status and as such are required to leave Canada immediately".
Do I stand a chance for PR? I submitted my EE application 1 month ago?
Thank you for your answers!
