He is on a work permit which was extended for another 18 months under the new policy. Yes I am waiting for the AOR now and will see for another month if we get it otherwise I will apply for an extension. I'm just a visitor here, no work permit.First off, you don't need to extend your status 6 months in advance. I did it for my family little over 30 days. You may have received AOR by then.
Second, what is your husband's status? I am assuming his is expiring at the same time as yours? The normal way is to extend the main applicant's status, then those of dependants.
