Hi all,
I am OINP PNP permanent resident applicant, currently waiting for PPR.
Because my work permit expired two months ago and I applied extend work permit application before expiring date, I was able to continue working as an implied status.
Two days ago, immigration officer refused my application for extending work permit due to I chose Open Work Permit in the application form by mistake.
Thus, I am currently out of status and not able to work in Canada until my restoration application gets approved.
Now, my permanent resident application, I passed all steps including security and got ghost update three weeks ago. This is almost end.
I asked immigration lawyer and consultant in Canada, they said that if changing job or position, then it does affect PR application and cancelled. However, because you are just stop working (their meaning: NOT necessarily work constantly until your PR gets approved) and legally living in Canada, your PR application will be fine.
Does anyone know this it is correct? Stop working due to visa refusal does not affect PNP Permanent Resident?
Thanks,
P.S. I want to say one thing that immigration processing time is VERY slow! I have been waited this for 16 months now! If I got approved PR beforehand, then this situation would not happen!
