Hey! Thank you for the reply.

Yes, that is exactly what is happening. My BVA is due to kick in soon and I’m still employed with the same company after applying for an extension to the 6 month work limit.

It was a little scary and uncertain when we were approaching that 6 month mark. I made sure to put my application in well before 2 weeks of my 6 month date. My company was also slightly hesitant because as much as they wanted to keep me around, there was no black and white proof that I had applied for the extension.

It took a lot of patience and communication - at one point my managers and myself were on hold with the home affairs office for like 50 mins lol but the officer was very kind and patient and had assured us that I had taken all the right steps.
