I am currently living and working in Montreal, Quebec with 3-year Post-Graduation Work Permit valid until August/2016. I graduated with a DEC from a college in Quebec in 2013 and have been working for a company since then.
I have been submitted an application for PR since May/June 2015 through an lawyer office to Federal level after being refused by Quebec level because my French level was only A2. The lawyer said it may take up to 3 years to be accepted. I am going to apply to extend my work permit which (I am sure) only gives me another year (according to 4 year maximum rules).
So my question is, after my next work permit expires, am I still allowed to stay here and work while waiting for the PR?
Thank you for the information. Is QSW = Quebec Skilled Worker? Can you show me the link where I can find the information? I found one but not sure, I want to post here but I am not allowed to post link...
And about the LMIA and work permit, are you talking about the open work permit? If I the open work permit, will the current 3-year permit from PGWP be counted to the "4 year maximum rule"?
