Hi ,

Is there max a number of days rule we need to follow for applying for Work Permit Extension. My work permit Expired in Oct 2010.
I got to know verbally that we cannot apply before 2 months of expiry of current Work permit, but could not find a link to it .

Regards,

Note that the processing time for WP application for same employer is 40 days. Your employer can only file for the LMO in your favor after advertising for 14 days and LMO processing is about 6 weeks. So your employer should start advertising now, then apply for your new WP as soon a new LMO comes out :)
