Hi, I am from South Korea and I came to Canada in Oct 2016 with Working holiday visa.
I have applied for Common law spouse sponsorship/open work permit in the end of August.
(I have been living with my boyfriend over 1 year in both Korea and Canada. )
My working holiday visa has expired on the first week of October.
Since I have applied for both of Common law sponsorship and Open work permit, I have been working under the same condition.
Today, I called IRCC and confirmed that they returned the papers this week. So I assume that I should stop working from this moment.
Here are my questions.
1. Am I staying illegally or it automatically gave me 90 days after my working holiday expired as a visitor?
2. If I have a visitor status at this moment, what would be the priority? Should I apply for extension for visitor,
Resend both common law sponsorship and open work permit papers again?
3. The visitor visa, can I just leave Canada and come back to get the visitor visa instead of apply online and wait for 3 months?
4. Do I need to get a visitor visa first to apply for common law spouse sponsorship as inside resident?
I know It's a lot but I would really appreciate ot if anyone could help.
Thank you very much
