Pros in the house,
I need your advice, i have been reading alot on this platform, i'm going to paint my scenario to seek counsel.
Presently I'm on an SOWP(Spousal Open Work Permit) which expires in December 2019, My spouse recently graduated and changed her Study Permit to a 3years PGWP in antipication of filing for PR and add me as a dependent in the PR application.
I'm seeking a way to extend my SOWP before expiration in December 2019(Recall that we are both temporary resident at this time).
Option1- My Spouse gets a job in NOC 0, A or B with her PGWP and my Spousal Open Work Permit is renewed. We are presently hunting for jobs in those NOC.
Option2- Enter the Express Entry Pool after convocation in October, Hopefully get ITA before End of October and submit a PR application (adding me as a dependent) alongside an OWP extension changing the conditions of my present SOWP.
Kindly Advise
Question1
Can we submit a PR paper application and OWP together. I dont know if we qualify for SCLPC class since we are both temporary resident at this point.
Question 2
If Question 1 is Yes, can i maintain Implied Status pending when we receive the WP submitted along side the PR application.
Question 3
What are my other options?
OWP Eligibility includes
"are a dependent family member of someone who applied for permanent residence"
