I'm on a work permit under the software pilot project, which means at the time I applied for it, it was LMO-exempt. Now, my boss has offered to hire me permanently (he branched our current company out of his old company, so technically it's a new - 6 month old company - and I'm the only person employed full-time, aside from him).
My question is: Can I apply for FSW using my LMO-exempt work permit? Do I need to apply (and wait) for an Arranged Employment Opinion?
My work permit expires on May 2012, should I just wait another couple of months, apply for LMO, and then apply for PR then? I'm not sure if the company will still be surviving until then, to be honest.
Should I just ask my boss to apply for AEO, and then extend my work permit (in which I have to apply for LMO as well...because AEO takes around 6 months)?
I have been working in Canada from May 2010, however, I was laid off from my first employer on October 15 2010, and was hired by my current employer on December 22nd 2010, so that gives me two months that I haven't been working. Does that mean that by May 2012, I'm still short of two months in applying for Canadian Experience Class (requires 2 years of full time or equivalent full time experience)?
I have all the requirements and documents ready and was about to send out my application when I realized that I didn't understand what this meant:
1) If you are currently working in Canada:
your current employer must have made an offer to give you a permanent job if you are accepted as a federal skilled worker, and
your temporary work permit must be valid both when you apply for a permanent resident visa and when the visa is issued.
In addition:
your work permit must have been confirmed by Human Resources and Social Development Canada (HRSDC) through a positive labour market opinion or

Hopefully anyone could be kind enough to shed their response...
