There is nothing stopping you from filing now for those years

Thank you for your response. So I was wondering is there going to be any consequence of me filing tax return while working without a status? I have T4 for those years from the company I have worked for if this helps my situation.

No. The CRA’s mandate is taxes

IRCC mandate is immigration
