Transfer from Study Permit to Work Permit

Postby deepak09 on Sun Jan 02, 2011 11:32 am

Hi David,

Hope you are doing good.My name is Deepak and I am citizen of India.I have a total IT experience of 6 years.2 months back I was in a process to apply for a study permit to complete my masters in Canada.During that time I got a job offer from a Canadian employer. The Canadian employer took some time to apply for the LMO but they did apply for it eventually.The time period during which the LMO was in approval process, I got my student VISA approved.And now,after some days,even the LMO is approved.

Now I am in Canada on my student permit.Since now as I have my LMO approved, Can I apply for a work permit from canada and get a transfer from student permit to a work permit.My employer is very eager to have me on board because there a lack of skills I posses in Labor market of Canada.

Can you please suggest me some things that could make my case stronger or any extra documents I can submit to make my case stronger.Should I submit a paper application rather then online application as on an online application we can submit only specific documents.

Any suggestions from you will be very helpful.

Thanks and Regards
Deepak.

You may apply inland for a change-of-terms or may apply to a visa office outside of Canada for a new work permit. If applying inland, there may be some advantage to using the online process, as quoted delays for such are shorter on average.
