hi joe.i think and i hope that the new tier system shall apply to applicants on march/april not to newly granted work permit holders. i was on a 2 year work permit when i arrived on 2005 and got another new 5 year work permit granted on 2007 so it expires on 2012....i wish, i hope, i pray....i wont be affected by the changes....not unless qualifying period extends again from 5 years to another 7 years or longer.....i shall have nervous breakdaown then as i almost had while renewing
