Q: Any way at all to extend my Residence Permit to change jobs?

I have a similar question on another thread. 

 

I am working for an agency which sends teachers to different schools. Been with this agency for two years.

 

The school I was assigned to expected me to work for them until the end of June. Problem is that my Residence Permit expires June 14th. So they changed my classes around to do this. So my last day there is June 13th. I have been hired to work at another school in another city in the same province.

 

The agency is not willing to extend the Residence Permit one month to take care of this paperwork. 

 

Today I got the Cancellation of Work Permit and Release Letter from the college stamped and everything. I am in a hurry to get the paperwork to the other city to start the work permit cancellation.

 

Now this afternoon the college told me that the paperwork I signed has to be approved by supervisors who can turn it down which means I am screwed basically. The agency won’t go through the process of cancelling the Work Permit without their approval. So another sleepless night worrying about this. Hopefully, I can sign a form stating that I will continue my work with the college until June 13th.

 

I have read online that it MIGHT be possible to get a 30 day extension, something called a Humanitarian Visa to be able to change my employer and finish the paperwork. I have read two or three articles concerning this. If not, then I can get an L Visa for thirty days and then go home. Has anyone heard of this?

 

My new employer is worried that I won’t get everything done because of this. If I only had two more weeks it would be all good. Two weeks.

 

My agency is screwing me and I don’t know why.  I have not had a negative relationship with them and I am just trying to get another job with another school. This is upsetting because of the fact that I am married to a citizen and have a life here.

 

I can’t imagine this would be difficult to do and all parties are screwing me on this and don’t know what to do.

 

Help or advice appreciated.

If you have the letter of release I don't know what else the new school would need to get moving on your new RP, it really sounds to me like someone is blowing smoke up your arse because they're worried you'll bail on them before your last day.

 

At this point you should maybe give SAFEA a call, this sort of thing is supposed to be what they're there for.

 

Good luck mate, hope it works out.

Answer of the DayMORE >>
A: In my personal experience, teaching certificates have varied in releva
A:In my personal experience, teaching certificates have varied in relevance depending on the context and location. Here's a breakdown of each aspect:a) Getting the teaching job: Teaching certificates can certainly enhance your chances of securing a teaching position, especially in formal educational settings such as schools and language institutions. Many employers prefer candidates who have undergone specific training in pedagogy and instructional techniques, which these certificates often provide. However, other factors such as experience, references, and the demand for teachers in a particular area also play significant roles in the hiring process.b) Getting a higher salary than your uncertified competitors: In some cases, holding a teaching certificate can indeed lead to a higher salary compared to uncertified competitors. Many educational institutions have structured salary scales that take into account factors such as level of education, years of experience, and additional certifications. Holding a teaching certificate may place you in a higher salary bracket or make you eligible for certain salary incentives or bonuses. However, this can vary widely depending on the specific policies of the institution or organization.c) Getting promotions: Teaching certificates can be beneficial for career advancement and securing promotions within the field of education. They demonstrate a commitment to professional development and mastery of teaching skills, which are qualities that many employers value when considering candidates for leadership positions or administrative roles. Additionally, some promotions may require specific certifications or qualifications, making holding a teaching certificate essential for advancement in certain cases.Regarding which certificate yields better results, it largely depends on the specific requirements of the job market and the educational context in which you intend to work. For example:A Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) is often highly regarded in formal school settings and can be advantageous for those seeking positions in primary or secondary education.Montessori certification is valuable for individuals interested in working in Montessori schools or implementing Montessori principles in their teaching approach.A Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) certificate is particularly relevant for those seeking to teach English to non-native speakers in international contexts or language schools.Ultimately, the best certificate for you will depend on your career goals, the specific requirements of the positions you're interested in, and the preferences of potential employers in your target job market. It's essential to research the requirements and preferences of employers in your desired field and tailor your qualifications accordingly. -- ruqaiya761
