| | Refugee N Permit-- Can you work?
Met a family on an N Permit which means they are waiting for the canton to decide whether or not they get another or better permit.
Their claim was rejected already as political refugees and they are appealing. This was over a year ago and they have heard no response on the decision.
They think they can obtain work on their N Permits as long as the company who employs them is willing to do the paperwork.
What paperwork? They're not sure.
Any experiences?

No experience, but from what I understand it is the canton who needs to give authorization.
Are they in Lucern? If yes, needed forms can be found here - https://migration.lu.ch/Asyl_und_Rue...itsbewilligung | This user would like to thank Sigh for this useful post: | |

Whether it's possible after a failed asylum claim or not you'd have to check with the cantonal migration office.

I know of two here in Vaud that are apprentices. Imagine the answer is yes, subject to conditions.

I also hope everything turns out alright for them by returning safely to the country they claim to have ‘fled’ from.

Everyone has the legal right to be heard (appeal process) following an official decision but it is simply artificially extending their stay, probably with the final hope of receiving an F permit (claiming it would be against human rights to execute a removal or separate a family). One of the many flaws of the current asylum law if you ask many.

Apparently in Geneva people can live years and years without papers and then get legitimised , since nobody wanna deal with so many cases as they are already backed up with requests from legitimate applications.

If they have converted that is a capital offense. They just put them in limbo hoping they will try somewhere else.

Doubt it will ultimately be rolled out given the number of cases of fraud submitting fake documents as proof that were revealed.
The issue with the F permit loophole is that most are assisted by the state and there is no way to legally remove them.

There is no control on who is coming in from other EU countries and there is no dearth of black work given the presence exploiting mafias.

The primary beneficiaries of project Papyrus were non-EU as they wouldn't have a right to stay otherwise and are mostly harmless (part of the flourishing undeclared private cleaning services economy in Geneva).

I know a lady who had her appeal heard and the canton lost. Having to appeal does not mean the authorities got it right.

Now that you mention i must add , not all EU come with contracts in hand many of them just come for 3 months try to find a job later.
