Applying for Work Permit after submitted documents for PR

[inajaf]

Hi, I need the advice.

If I already applied for PR and my one year Work Permit already expired. Can I get the Work Permit again during the PR process or what should I do or what the steps do I need to get the permission for official work in Canada?

Thank you.

No, you cannot. You'd only be eligible for a BOWP if your work permit was still valid.

Thank you for your answer.

What about if I have Visitor Visa and I also submitted documents for PR how I can work and get the permit ?

Having your PR in process does not grant you the right to obtain a work permit. Your PR processing would only be relevant in the case of you applying for a BOWP which you cannot do at this point.

If you find an employer who is willing to obtain LMIA for you then you could go back to work but it is going to be challenging to find an employer willing to spend the time and resources to get that for you.
