Work permit extension with the same employer - applying at the border?

[Kay-AB]

I asked a similar question, but I'm still not clear re: the answer. Please help.

I am a cook in AB (B level). My employer just got a new LMO as my current work permit expires in Mar 2011. My family (wife and kids) just arrived from Korea. They stamped them as tourist in their passport and not as my dependent (even though I sent a photocopy of my work permit when they were coming into Vancouver.

My question:
1. Can I include them as open work permit (wife) and visitor records (children) in my work permit extension? Or should they apply separately?
2. Processing time for work permit extension takes 107 days currently. Are we allowed to apply for same employer work permit extension, visitor records at the border if I have my LMO?

Thank you in advance. Please advise

Don't know the answers to most of your doubts, but you can apply for extending your work permit online and thats much faster - 47 days I believe currently.

You should go to the CIC website or even the canadavisa site home page and you can find the info there.

Your company need to advertise for the position to show that no Canadian Citizen or permanent resident applied or qualified before your company can apply for a LMO in your favour.

So it means i need a new LMO to extend the work permit?

Yes you need a new LMO, but it is the employer who applies after advertising the position for at least 14 days at the job bank.
