Hi guys,

I applied inland for PR 12 months ago, via PEQ. Since it's taking so long and I'm stuck at a job that I don't like and where I don't make a lot of money, and since I have a job offer in my country of origin, would it possible to leave the country to take the other job or would that affect the PR application???
I'm on a closed work permit btw.

Anyone in the same situation?
Thanks in advance

Yes .. could you please share more info on the cover letter.?

It will be individual from case to case. For me, I described my current situation and the reasons why I wanted an open work permit. The letter itself is like a business letter with a letterhead, date, location, and attachments (AOR, Medical). It does not hurt to be polite, as professional as possible and to let a native English or french speaker review the letter.

for example:
Dear Sir / Madam,
The purpose of this letter is to explain the reason for applying for an open work permit ...

Then:
I applied for permanent residency under the Quebec Skilled Worker program on August etc. etc
[Describe when you got AOR, and attach a copy. Describe your current active work permit status (attach scan), medical status and provide screenshots of passed status (within one year). These are requirements to get a OWP]

Then:
However, my current work permit expires on etc etc ..... [describe your situation. Are you negotiating a new contract with current employer, but not sure if you will get it, any other reason why do you need OWP? For me, I wanted to also work as a freelancer/contractor, which is not allowed with a closed work permit].

Then end politely:
I hope that my explanation and attached documents serve its purpose. Please do not hesitate to contact me for additional information. Sincerely, ...

Attach the scans of AOR, current work permit, and Medical, and compile and upload one PDF.

Firstly, I owe a lot to this group and would like to thank everyone who are sharing their timelines and experiences in this hectic and tiring journey of so called Permanent Residency.... It was a dream indeed for me until last year that I lost a bit of hope after that due to the dynamic extension of the PROCESSING times......I haven't posted in this group until now but I used to follow it regularly to look for the updates from the fellow mates and hoping for my turn to come......
Finally, I have seen a DM in my ECAS status and felt relieved that this excruciating journey coming to an end....
I termed it 'Excruciating' because of the irregular processing times and the VO's not adhering to the timelines posted.
Anywayz Friends, Dont loose HOPE and keep checking your mails and status so that one day you would end up finding the one you want.... ALL THE VERY BEST FOR EVERYONE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Applied: August 2017
