What do you mean by a 1 year permit is this a 1 year TWP? In that case the company is going to have to go through the LMO process again for you.

If its for the IEC then sorry to say its closed for 2012 and wont reopen till December most likely

i'm on me phone so cant get the proper links but Google NOC codes Canada and from this you can determine if it will be a a help.

3. How would i got about getting permanent residency in my situation.

I dont know about that but it would stand to reason that you would have to be

re 4, determines how big a loan youd be looking for, but with a year done in the country and not being a resident, i'd hazard a guess that youd get $5-6000 maximum
