My Post Graduate Work Permit (PGWP) expires in June 2015. To extend my work permit, I need to either
1)have an LMIA, or
2)have a proof that my employer applied for an LMIA through ESDC and I am waiting for a decision to be made.
Since LMIA takes a long time, I think I have to go with option 2. CIC says the following about option 2:
"To be eligible to submit such proof, you must not be requesting restoration of status and your status must be expiring in the next two weeks."
So first I need to ask my employer to apply for LMIA. Then I have to get the proof that they have applied and send that proof to CIC in June less that two weeks from my work permit expiration. Is that right? Do I have enough time to do these?
Would you please share your stories if you have done this? Let's help each other understand this procedure a little better.
Best,
Hamoon
