    Open Work Permits not being approved even when meeting eligibility criteria

    As far as I know, if you are out of status and your application is returned for OWP, you are no longer eligible to apply as you don't hold a legal status anymore. I'm wondering why IRCC instructed you to sign the OWP and send it off again? What is the 90 day grace period? Thanks!

    Does application to extend as visitor void work permit?

    We'll do that! Just one more question for you :rolleyes: it mentions on their website it's ideal to apply 30 days before the current status expires to apply for the visitor extension. I'm guessing as it's not a requirement, we're okay to apply now (only 14 days until current status expires)?

    Does application to extend as visitor void work permit?

    Okay, thanks. So even if our visitor extension was approved, if the application isn't returned, she can continue to work regardless.

    My partner is on IEC work permit that expires April 25th, 2020. We've submitted a Common Law PR application + OWP which was received January 31st.

    Working while waiting for PR application

    Yes, you'll need to submit an OWP application (with a full OWP checklist) with your PR application to get that implied status which allows you to continue working past your work permit expiry.

    What happens if AOR not received and IEC visa expires?

    Okay, good to know! Even if out of status, you can still apply for PR right? Just not OWP? We'll apply for an extension just in case as we get closer to the end of the IEC work permit, if we still haven't received the AOR.

    I had a question relating to this. We've applied for common law inland PR + OWP, received end of January. My partner's IEC work permit expires April 25th. As I understand it, if it's past April 25th, and our application is returned (PR or OWP), my partner will be out of status. We can then...

    Questions about maintaining legal status

    If your wife is on IEC, and you've applied for a work permit with your PR application, your wife can continue working until a decision on the OWP is made, even if the IEC work permit expires. My parner is on IEC and we've applied for common law sponsorship with OWP. I have contacted IRCC...

    Incomplete Application 90 Days Hold

    Thanks for clarification. I was just worried it meant that if an application was found to have a missing signature, they will hold it for 90 days without returning it, like some people are suggesting in the monthly inland/outland threads.

    Application returned

    To add to the previous comments, as a software engineer, I really think 80% of the entire application validation process can be automated and save applicants months of stress due to missing signatures, and other minor arbitrary things that might offend the person reviewing your application. It...
