I have two questions regarding work permits. Didn't want to clutter the forum with topics, so here they both are. 1) Does anyone know if a graduate of the CAPPA certification program (in Calgary) can get a job that will provide a lmo to get a work permit? I am thinking of taking the program. I've been recommended by an accountant supervisor with an oil company and I have funds to pay for it. I have no worries about the coursework only *can I get a job*? Don't want to spend money if I can't get a job! :) I have talked to my school, CAPPA office, and others. No one knows for sure... for some reason. 2) I have an outstanding application for a work permit. In my application I clearly wrote my partner and I are in the waiting period for common-law. I also clearly stated he is a Canadian citizen. HOWEVER, CIC emailed me and wants a copy of his work or study permit (He jokes I should scan his birth certificate and send that, haha.... I might:P ) and we're clueless on the common-law part. I've tried calling CIC and I will try again, but they *never* answer when I call. (This is in MONTHS of trying, never once gotten through!) Does anyone have any insight here? Would actually supplying his birth certificate suffice? (And no, we aren't engaged or planning to get married anytime in the future right now.) If you know the answer to one or both questions, thanks in advance.
