Hi, I am on a closed work permit, and reached Canada in Mar 2020. But, I was just laid off. Till when can I legally stay back? Work permit is valid till fall 2021. Company wants me to fly back to india immediately, but I want to delay my departure by a 1-2 months given current covid situation in India. Could someone help? Thanks

Thanks. A quick follow up. The company has already sent a note to the local HR team that work permit is not valid anymore since I've been laid off. But, the actual validity is till fall 2021. Can I still stay back? Maybe speak to the company to not cancel the work permit?

Hi @scylla a follow up question, I am in India and have a work permit valid till 2026 the company changed the plans and no longer interested in sending to canada. My spouse is still in canada and employed. I have W1 TRV stamped on passport. Can I travel to canada on that TRV without having the payroll or recent offer letter and later apply for sowp from inside canada. Do I need to inform the border agent at the airport that the organization has not confirmed my transition however I came to accompany my spouse. Thanks in advance.
