If you are the applicant and if you are here on a Temporary visitor visa you should have applied for inland sponsorship application with OWP before your status expires... first they review your PR application then after 3 to 4 months later you will get your open work permit ... I believe your current status is a visitor
Inland Spousal Sponsorship - December 2018

I understand that. I know and that was my mistake; it is a long story. I have been in Canada for over 6+ years on study/work visas. When I applied for inland spousal PR I was OUT OF STATUS/EXPIRED WORK PERMIT. But you are still allowed to apply for PR inland without status. That is not my question.
I applied for restoration of my status in November, 2 weeks before I mailed in my PR(WITH OWP APP) application in December. NOW I have visitor status. But for the OWP you NEED valid status(which I did not have when I mailed it in, I explained this in my app). People which applied ahead of me still have not received AOR.
My question is: My PR most likely has not been looked at YET. But in that application for OWP I was OUT OF STATUS.
Will they look in the system and see that I now have valid status and process it normally or should I mail in another OWP application with my valid status explaining I submitted one incorrectly before.
I think it shouldn’t affect your application all they see is if you Curenently have a legal status and I believe you do has a visitor visa Status .... so it shouldn’t be a problem ... you don’t really need to submit a new OWP since your concern is that at the time when you applied for PR and OWP you were out of status ... but when immigration is gone review your file now you do have a legal status now so it’s not an issue ... and you already submitted the OWP application so wait for the outcome ... in future don’t be out of status and file an application lucky in your case you do have a legal status now that’s good ... that’s all they see ... I have seen people filing PR when they don’t have a legal status inside Canada they get deported
Thank you very much for your opinion. I will get a few more opinions so I have the most confidence
. Nothing against you I am just paranoid! Also I did not get deported because I was in Canada while my status expired. That is what the restoration process is for; they want you to prove you can survive here. I am an American as well, visa-exempt usually. But for an inland application through spouse you are allowed. I am not lucky, just did not do anything wrong except my status expired but I proved myself and provided evidence.Thank you very much for your opinion. I will get a few more opinions so I have the most confidence
YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE OWP up until your application will be in AIP stage as you ran out of status when you applied for OWP with your Spousal that is on the 10th-11th month mark. If you are willing to pay the $255 , its better for you to reapply now that you have status.
OWP pilot program will end on the 31st. Is there any way you can send ur OWP and be received ny CIC on Jan31st. I forgot about the program not being extended.
You must send it out through courier(UPS/Purolator) and overnight ship it to the address on the OWP PR location. I will edit the post when I see it. As long as it gets there the 31st.
Yup. I did my OWP via Purolator, was delivered the next day. So hopefully you can send it out tomorrow. Just double check the address .

Received by Mississauga Immigration Office ...........December 11 2018.
AOR.....................................................................WAITING
CBSA interview for spouse..................January 8 2019 = Exclusion order
CBSA second interview for spouse....January 28 2019. = PRRA option
The result of January 8th meeting was a exclusion order, and the result of second interview was we where offered PRRA option.

So what happened on the interview? Full details please if you don't mind ..
So I couldn’t link my OWP because it was sent back to me on Jan 28 (Agent on the phone said that) due to insufficient payments even though I paid the rest $155 and submitted through IRCC web form after realizing I paid it wrong (at first I paid only $100). while I get documents and send it back I’m not in the pilot program anymore.
Does it mean OWP will not be approved until my sponsorship immigration is Approved in Principal, which is going to be in around 10-12 months?
