Default TWP expires 2012 in montreal advice needed

SO we have been here in Montreal for 5 yrs, have reapplied twice for TWP, have got 3 yrs on each one which expires in sep 2012.
Husband has a Permenant job, LMO etc

Our we right in thinking that we now have until 2015 to apply for PR and dont need to re apply for TWP again ?

Our sons passport expires in Mar 2012, so have just sent off for new one.
Do we need to re apply for a new Visitor Visa for him?
Also if we were to go out of the country without the paper visa would he be allowed back in ?

Thanks

The way it reads is that the four-year rule doesn't apply in a number of cases as listed in the exceptions.

Even if you are included in the exceptions, all it means is the "four year" maximum limit doesn't apply.

You still have to have the necessary documentation to reside and work in Canada.

I my humble opinion it means that if you haven't applied for pr already as a CSQ you should probally do it and quick.

As I understand that unless your hubby is employed under NOC 0 or A then he will not get another temp work permit should he apply for one.

As was stated above you current permits run out in 2012, so you would have no legal status in the country.

You should sort out (and fast) how you plan on staying.

Actually the 4 year limitation doesn't kick in until 01/04/2015, as the change was made starting 01/04/2011.

"The cumulative duration regulation establishes a maximum allowable duration of four years that a temporary foreign worker can work in Canada, followed by a period of four years in which the worker would not be eligible to work in Canada. It takes effect April 1, 2011 for all TFWs; therefore, the earliest date that a TFW could reach the four-year cumulative duration is April 1, 2015. "
