Can I apply for PR in parallel to my work permit extension application

Hi All

<My first post>

My employer has filed my WP extension application to CIC and I have also received ITA for applying PR

Should I apply for PR or wait for WP extension to be approved. Need your help and suggestions.

Thanks in advance

Congrats for your ITA. Apply for your PR and WP at the same time. They are separate. Don't worry about anything and don't wait.

Thanks Innana

Actually some one told me about the dual intent which made me concerned as I do not want to get into any problem with my employer.

Hope everything goes fine.

I think it's not a problem to apply for both at the same time. At least, a lawyer told me applying for IEC (one type of open work permit) and PR at the same time would be fine.

No, don't worry about it. When they process your WP, they will see that you have an ITA, they know you will soon become a PR. You are already here in Canada, you have nothing to worry about, including "the intention".

Thanks again Innana... So I will go ahead with both.

Need some help and expert advise
I got an invite in the recent CEC draw and planning to submit the EE profile by Aug 2021 end as PCC is awaited.
My closed work permit is valid till Dec 2021 and the company has visibility for 2022 end so had asked to apply for an extension.
1. Should I apply for WP extension now and then submit PR application? I don't want my company to know about my PR application.
2. If I submit for PR application by Aug end, can I still plan to submit the Work Permit extension by Sept or Oct. Will this cause an issue?
3. My spouse is on Open work permit based on my closed WP and daughter is on dependent visitor visa. We have applied for TRV in Feb 20 but it's still awaited.
Do we need to wait for TRV to come before we apply for an extension?
Thank you in advance.
