tl;dr: How do I apply for an LMIA-exempt, employer-based work permit online without uploading the documents it's requiring me to upload?
HISTORY -
Open work permit (post-grad) obtained in October, 2014 -
Have been working with the same employer since March 2015 and will continue
doing so -
Applied for PR through the Quebec Selected Skilled Worked program (QSW) in
March, 2017 -
Open work permit (post-grad) expires in October, 2017 - BEFORE I get a decision
for PR
I
now need to apply for an employer-based LMIA-exempt work permit. I have: -
A valid CSQ -
An offer of employment number (my employer submitted the info on their end and
paid the $230 app fee)
MY
ISSUE I
can't, for the life of me, figure out how to apply online. I go into my account
and I'm forced to go through the "Come to Canada wizard"
questionnaire to generate the correct checklist/application documents that I
need to upload for an extension of a work permit. During this questionnaire, I cannot say
"no" when they ask me if I have a written job offer (I'm already
working, I have an offer of employment number), and I cannot choose "None
of the above" when it asks me to describe my current job situation - in
which NONE of the answers apply other than "Provincial Nominee Certificate
Holder", which isn't even correct because I'm not applying under the PNP;
Quebec is a separate program. I cannot say no because it ends the questionnaire
by telling me that I am no longer eligible (even though I am).
So,
I say yes to the written job offer, and I select the Provincial Nominee
Certificate Holder; there-go, in my online application, I must upload documents
such as: -
Provincial Nominee Program Certificate (PNC) (required) - Letter
of Support from Province or Territory (required) -
Offer of Employment (required) (description: job offer letter)
Unfortunately, none of these apply to me - because I have an option to upload my CSQ, this shows that I have a "letter of support" or a "certificate" --- do I just upload my CSQ in those areas three times in a row?? Or, do I explain my situation in the Letter of Explanation? Do I not actually have to upload (I can upload an n/a word doc) the "required" documents? Anyone else in a similar situation? Any help would be appreciated! |
