Intra-company Transferee Terminated Can He Apply Under CEC

[Baljit]

I am a foreign national in Canada. I came to Canada as an Intra-company transferee. My company said me to join back parent company in 3 months’ time. I have my work permit renewed for 2 years and my husband is having SOWP and two kids studying with SP. Can my husband continue working on his dependent spouse work permit? I am planning to leave the company and continue to stay in Canada. Can I stay in Canada without working? Can we apply for Express Entry – Canadian Experience Class?

Hello Baljit

You can stay in Canada till the date you have work permit issued or you have not issued a removal order. Your husband has open work permit, he can continue working in Canada as long as he has work permit valid. If you both qualify for Canadian Experience Class in terms of Canadian Employment, language proficiency, Education, and age, you can apply for EE-CEC in Canada. Once you get ITA and submitted online application, you can extend and/or change the conditions of work permit. You will become eligible to apply for bridge work permit as your application of permanent residency is in process.
