Immigration Forum / Canada / June 2008issues with work visa
Hello, Can somebody answer me please: I have a work permit for 1 year, until March 1st 2009, but I'm experiencing some problems at work, so it could be that my employment will end (either I'll quit or perhaps they'll fire me). So I’m asking if someone could tell me whether I can continue staying in Canada until March 1st, or do I have to leave immediately as my employment ends. Thank you in advance, Lane Hello Lane, You can stay in Canada until March 2009. I quit in September 2007. and i leaved Canada in December 2007. My work permit is valid until March 2009. No probs at airport.

Your present visa is linked to your employment, if you are not employed at this company or any other company you don't have the right to stay in Canada for the time of your work visa. I believe that there is a 30 or 60 day grace period for you to find different employment. However without employment CIC may request for you to leave Canada.

Annette Annette@canadaimmigrationjobs.com I hope you are not counseling people in Immigration for pay. A work permit is just a visitor's permit with permission to work. If the OP quits or gets fired, s/he still is a visitor and can remain to the visitor permit expires. S/he cannot work, without an new LMO/Work Permit but still can remain for the duration of the status. PMM > I hope you are not counseling people in Immigration for pay.

I was surprised to hear that someone would actually use the forum for pay; I can assure you my intention was to simply get a clarification about my own personal issue. Lane. .

That is correct. I am meeting a client later today that lost his job is and currently exploring new work permits options. What you must do is comply with the restrictions/conditions on your work permit. These likely include not working for a different employer, location or occupation ( without a new work permit giving permission) and leaving Canada by the expiry of the document. If your ex-employer had you approved via a Labour Market Opinion from Service Canada, THEY should contact that department to let them know you are no longer there. That is in their best interest, but does not involve you in anyway. You have until March to look for alternative work, and apply for a new permit. Even at that point you could remain in Canada if you submitted a request to extend your visitor status and it was approved by CIC. If you feel you require further information, please feel free to contact me via my website. Chris Daw www.dawimmigration.com > .

( This step is correct or Wrong I dont know Please advice?) 2) I applied for EI and waiting for there decison I worked continuesly for two years and got laid off and my work permit still valid till 2010, Will I qualify for EI benefits under this Work permit since it wont allows me to work for another employer. 3) I got my Record of employment from ex employer and, Once he decides to hire me back, can i continue working for him, In Case i dont change my work permit to other company and wait for him to recall me. 4) Does applying for EI effect your Permanent Resident application or sponser ship application, since i am planning to apply for permanent residence and sponser my brother to vist me after few months. I am sure i will get the job pretty soon but Does applying for EI effect my sponsership application In future?? Please advice Regards Noel |
