Hi All,
Have a couple of questions around the type of work permit to go for.
1. My job profile (IT Infrastructure/Systems Analyst) comes under the LTSS work category. However, my job-offer comes from an accredited employer, which makes me eligible for the Talent (Accredited Employer) work permit. Which is a better option? I was looking up the immigration web portal and noticed that if I am having an accredited employer work permit, I can change companies and go for accredited work employers only. Options to go for non-accredited employers would require additional paperwork. Is there any advantage for going for this accredited employer work permit? Does it accelerate the process to get a work permit? Does it help in the residence application down the line?
2. For both LTSS and Talent (accredited employer) work permits, the website says that one could apply for a permanent residency after 2 years on this work permit. I do hear cases where folks have applied for a permanent resident status within a few months of getting this work permit. Have the rules changed recently? Is the website content out-dated?
