Nope. Unfortunately not possible.
To qualify for a work permit under an LMIA, you need to have valid status in Canada. Refugee claimants are not classified as having valid status in Canada.
Withdrawing your refugee claim will trigger a removal order.
LMIA + work permit will be difficult and the work permit likely will not be approved due to the fact that you previously claimed refugee status in Canada.
Applying for PR through PNP is certainly possible. Once the PNP application is fully processed and approved and your PR visa is issued, you'll be able to return to Canada. You should expect this will likely take a couple of years.
D
yes is that possible. And I have a own small business too is there is any options?
No options that would allow you to withdraw the refugee claim and remain in Canada.
Any options involving LMIAs require you to leave Canada and likely be outside of Canada for a couple of years.
NO. You can not...After your refugee claim, you cease to become temporary resident and lose requirement for In Canada LMIA. Applying from outside of Canada will also be difficult because of failed refugee claim record
As per R202 of IRPR, applicants who are issued a work permit under section R206 do not, by reason only of being issued a work permit, become temporary residents.
Refugee Claimants and Asylum Seekers are not eligible for PNP Streams.
Why are you considering withdrawing your appeal before high court prior to final determination?
