Can I extend my postgraduate work visa?

Can I extend my postgraduate work visa?

I currently have a post gradate work visa. I attended school in Vancouver from September 07 to June/July 08 on a study permit. My PG visa expires Aug 31, 2009. I am an ESL teacher, on a contract that depends on my work visa being extended. I'm afraid that my employers will not agree to a LMO because it is unlikely that they couldn't find a Canadian to fill my job in about two minutes. I'm not sure what to do. When I look at the CIC website it seems that I don't qualify for a longer PG permit, and without a LMO I'm not sure if I can get a work permit. I live in Vancouver, and I could drive to the border to apply in person. But I'm not sure what to apply for! And I don't know if that's a good idea anyway. I'm open to applying for PR, but that process takes such a long time that I feel like I should first apply for an extension on my work permit. Any advice appreciated! Thanks!

Are you employed by any college or tertiary institute? Including any post secondary language schools?

If YES then you MAY be able to get an extension based on the fact that under NOC code 4131: College and Other Vocational Instructors, you are in a job that is in demand.

4131 NOC code

I hope this helps.

There are NOT enough ESL teachers in Canada. There is a huge demand.
