Is it ok to apply for a temporary working visa while I have an FSW SAP application in process?

We currently have a job offer for both me and my husband through an agent, but the agent is hesitant to pursue my application because we have an on-going FSW SAP application in process and I am the principal applicant. They are afraid that I may be refused of the temporary visa. They said it is ok for my husband but they are not sure for my case! Do you think it will be a dis-advantage? What should I do? Pls need your inputs very urgent!

Probably a very good idea is you can find an employer willing to get an LMO for you. Once you are working in Canada with a valid work permit, you can upgrade your application to a full one.

do you mean giving up my FSW app? i dont think i can withdraw because we've waited already for quite long time to give it up now.

someone with similar case like me said having an arranged employment will not affect the fsw, it will actualy be an additional points. and she received a letter from canadian embassy that says "if there will be arranged employment from a Canadian employer approved by HRSDC it will expedite your FSW application". i just dont know why my agents office in canada doesn't know about this..........

You really don't understand the process do you? If you get an approved work permit and start work in Canada, you can upgrade your SAP application into a full application, and should receive priority processing. See: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/apply-how.asp Maybe you have a lousy agent?
