Hey forum,
Firstly thank you to anyone who helped me on here. Your answers were very detailed and helped a lot. I have another question to ask; My open work permit came in the mail Yesterday. At least I'm certain its my OWP but it only runs until my passport expiry which is the end of the year. My question is: Once I have my new passport from my home country will my work permit be automatically updated to ongoing or open? I Know all about Implied status because my previous visa (IEC) was not extendable so I was not able to work under implied status. Does this new visa allow me to carry on working under the same basis once it expires? Do I have to re apply for another visa before my PR is issued? Or can i work on the back of this visa until my PR is issued even though it is expired.
Quick background:
Arrived in Canada july 2015 on IEC 2 year work permit. Applied for PR under family class March 2017 also applied for OWP on back of PR application. OWP issued July 5th 2017 but only up until current travel document (passport) expiry date. So will a new passport automatically update my run out date or do I need to re apply?
Also has anyone else not had to have a medical to get an OWP? I was totally expecting an email with details of getting a medical but it never came.
Thanks
