What if one moved from amnesty to an initial Non-Imm 'O' visa based on kids in September, and subsequently applied for the 12-month extension last week, and is presently "under consideration". When should the 90-day report be done?

Best of luck Richa. Like I said, it will depend on both the Labour Office and Immigration in your area. Some do. Some don't.

If they cancel the work permit on October 7, but make it effective November 2, it might be ok. Depends on the Labour Office and the Immigration Office you are doing it at. Some insist on it being done on the actual day, not in advance.

I could be wrong, and the experts can tell you, but I think the cancellation of the work permit and the extension of stay it is based on, and the new work permit and the extension of stay applications should both be done on the same day. Otherwise, there could be problems. Let's hear from

and the other guys who know more than I.

If he gave one month's notice, why would the company not wait until November 2, his last day of work for them?

In my case, my employer submitted both the official work permit cancellation form and a letter to the local Labour Office. The Labour Office issue a slip of paper, like a receipt, when they cancelled the work permit. I took this slip, and another letter from my employer to Immigration to prove that my work permit had been cancelled. I did all of this on the same day.

Actually, it may be the other way around. Cancel work permit, get a document proving cancellation, take this to immigration, then cancel Non 'B'. Please note you must still cancel your Non 'B' even though it expires. You will need that stamp in your passport especially if you intend to get a new work permit in the future.

Just for information: In my local Labour Office, they will not allow the work permit to be cancelled unless it is done by the employer. They will also not allow it to be cancelled in advance of the termination of employment date. It must be done on the actual termination of employment date, which obviously means you can't cancel your extension of stay based on work at Immigration in advance either, since they require the receipt from the Labour Office.

So, different provinces, different rules, which make things that should be simple, that bit less so. :)

Many thanks for your advice,
