Scenario: I have a Canadian student permit and I am currently in US. Now, I got a job offer from a Canadian firm and they would apply for a closed work permit.

Question: Can my existing student permit adversely impact my chances of getting a work permit?

I know in Canada international students usually apply for a Post Grad work permit (open) after their university confirms they will graduate (university studies completed).

While IRCC processes their open work permit, the student can work full-time on implied status.

You would've have been given a close work permit if your open work permit was about to expired and you didnt apply for PR.

But if this is your 2nd Canadian degree (you already completed a Canadian degree), then it is possible to get a work permit.

I came to Canada as an international student so I know about this

2nd year junior attorney applying to new positions in the Southern California area. Every firm that’s called me to interview are smaller firms with salary ranges of 80-90k. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong — I have had multiple people review my resume, cover letters, etc. It seems like it’s a decently hot market, and I’m just out here getting frustrated.
