Hello Forum,

I was about to send my application to CIO, till I read a topic posted today, so I wanted to ask a question.

I am applying under Category 3 as a temporary worker, the thing is that in the last year I was out of work for 4 months but I am back at work again, so can I apply right now, or do I have to work 12 months straight in the last year before I can apply?

CIC states in their website, who can apply as Category 3 as:

"you are a foreign national who has been living legally in Canada for one year as a temporary foreign worker or an international student"

so does temporary foreign worker mean you are working 12 months straight or does it mean you have a work permit that has been valid for at least one year before you apply?

thanks
 
any comments please?
