Opportunity card to work permit
Hello all,
I did my Master's in Marketing and then switched to looking for a job. In the end, I found a job as a Sales Advisor at Uniqlo. When I wanted to change my visa to a work permit, Immigration didn't allow it, saying that this job is not a skilled, qualified position. However, I told them that I would get promoted every three months and that I have a good future with this company. The officer told me that I should get promoted and then apply again, but for now, they would change my visa to an Opportunity Card. He also mentioned that if I got promoted or found a better position, I would need to work for two weeks to see if I liked the job and if the company liked me.
Now I have been promoted and transferred to a better position in the same company, and I have started working 40 hours. I have also applied for a work permit.
My question is: until I receive a reply, am I allowed to work full time? Because I have just changed my contract and moved to a better position, which is only for 40 hours.
Dear @Dhoni welcome to our forum and sharing your situation.
May I ask, if you already received a residence permit for the Opportunity Card? And after you receive the new position, you started a full time job immediately?
Happy if you get back to us, so your situation is more clear and we can answer you more precisely.
