Applying for Permanent Residence AND Temporary Work
Hey all, hope everyones okay....
Anyhoo, thought i'd try and get some advice on what i'm planning to do...and see if anyone has done something similar, or if it will even work.
My Canadian girlfriend has been living with me for a year now and has another year left on her working holiday visa before she has to head back to Vancouver. Ideally I want to head back to Canada with her and REALLY want to live in Canada permanently.
OK, so, we recently found out that the waiting times for Permanent Residence can sometimes be a bit mental.... (20 - 50 months!?), so i'm going to apply for that ASAP (as soon as I scrape the money together etc). BUT I am also planning on applying for jobs sometime in the Spring next year (i'm a computer games developer and want to finish the game i'm currently working on before I try and get a job in Vancouver's games industry).
The question is (finally), if i'm currently going through an application for Permanent Residence (and haven't got it yet) - will an application for a Temporary Workers permit (if i'm offered a job) botch up my PR application in any way? Or is it a case of just updating the relevant authorities about what i'm doing?
That make sense to anyone? Any help or advice is greatly appreciated...
Thanks!
