`I think you got my question wrong, I have applied for my OWP & not an extension, and my spousal PR is in process. Legally I should leave the country by 19th of March, Do I still need to file for my visitor visa extension?
You received AOR for your spousal sponsorship application and you apply for OWP while you still have a valid status.
So in this case, you have maintaince status unless your OWP application is being returned (but I don't see that very often unless thats been applied in the wrong section or main document required is missing from the document check list).
It's up to you if you want to extend your visitor status. (extend your stay)
Otherwise, you are OK and is legally in maintainace status as visitor.
I had completed my medical in 2021 for my study permit and used that in my application.
Open Work Permit Arrived today! Woo!! Still waiting on CSQ and medical request.
My full timeline is in my signature. OWP-specific timeline is as follows:
OWP Submitted: Dec 10, 2023
OWP App Status Change Notification (not sure what changed): Dec 11, 2023
OWP Web Form Addt'l Docs (not requested) Submitted: Dec 12, 2023
OWP Web Form Addt'l Docs (not requested) Confirmation: Dec 15, 2023
OWP App Status Change Notification (not sure what changed): Dec 18, 2023
(Biometrics Requested for PR on Dec 20. Submitted for PR Dec 27. Marked Completed for PR & OWP on Dec 28)
OWP Web Form Addt'l Docs (not requested) Received: Dec 29, 2023
OWP Approved: Jan 23, 2024
OWP Received: Jan 29, 2024
The documents that I submitted through the web form were AOR, Marriage Certificate, OWP Payment Receipt, and Form IMM556E. I wasn't sent any communications asking for those documents, but form IMM556E is a checklist and indicates those are documents that should be submitted with the OWP application. I wanted to make sure the agents had everything.
[Edit:] Oh! And I also noticed on the envelope for my OWP that the permit's CPC was Edmonton -- thought that was worth noting for anyone interested

Yes you’re allowed to stay inside canada. It is called maintained status. Also have you applied for Sowp?
Yes , it’s been 10 days since I applied for OWP no updates on this either .
for Visitor Record , I just got the submission confirmation document from the gckey login. Will it be sufficient to keep in the records for future reference Incase for maintained status ?
