Hi and welcome to the site.

I was one of the people on Knox Mountain - my wife took your photograph for you. You'll find some good advice on here by using the Search feature, but also check the articles in the Wiki section (see the tab at the top of the page).

I've PM'd you too.

Good luck
Paul

You need to get a job offer and LMO in place before your current via runs out. You can then apply for a new WP, but you MUST submit the application to Vegreville before your current visa expires. As long as your application is made on time you can stay in Canada working on implied status until you get a decision on the new WP.

Does your work qualify for an E-LMO? Ski/snowboard and hotel/hospitality staff do. If so, you have a bit of time, if not you should get your employer to apply for an LMO right away.

Of course, if you don't want or need to work (unlikely, I know) you can also apply to extend your stay as a visitor. But again, you must apply before your current visa expires or you will be required to leave the Canada.
