    Work Permit Application - Maintained Status - Also apply for visitor status?

    No, but that’s irrelevant. I have already applied for a new work permit under the current policy that allows to apply without AOR as long as the current permit expire in two weeks or less. The question is whether it makes sense to apply for a visitor record on top of maintained status?

    Hello, I have applied for a new work permit under the OWP Spousal PR sponsorship policy and will be on maintained status shortly. Currently still on an active work permit but it's about to expire. Does it make sense to also apply for a visitor status/record before my work permit expires, in...

    Hello, I'm planning to submit my PR application (common-law, inland) just shortly before my current PGWP will expire next month. The plan is to then immediately apply for an open work permit after submitting the PR application, so I can maintain status as a worker. According to...

    Common-law application: Details on relationship between PA and step-children?

    Thank you both for your input! The answer I received this morning from a consultant aligns with the link you posted, Ponga! ;) We will be including their information on IMM 5406 for completeness sake, and elaborating briefly on it in an LoE. Better to have it than not.

    Tonga, could you please advise where you copied the above text from? I'm checking the guide (IMM 5289) and it doesn't have the note you highlighted above.

    Common-law application: Details on relationship between PA and step-children?

    Good catch. I missed that note on the top. I'm speaking with a consultant tomorrow to get some clarification, but if anyone else can either confirm or dispute how to fill IMM 5406 that would be much appreciated.

    Common-law application: Details on relationship between PA and step-children?

    Thanks Ponga. According to the guide, they must be listed on IMM 5406, Section B which is completed by the PA. I think the main question is whether we leave it at naming them on the form only, or discuss the relationship upfront in a letter of explanation? We're trying to include details they...

    Hello, My common-law partner and I are finalizing our (inland) PR application and were wondering if we need to provide details about my relationship to her teenage sons? She is the sponsor (Canadian citizen) and her children (under 18) live with us 50 percent of the time. We also have a...

    OWP Eligibility - Previous unauthorized study covered by current temporary public policy?

    Hello, When reviewing my personal timeline, I realized that I may have studied without authorization while on PGWP. I took a part-time course that delayed beyond the six months that are authorized while on PGWP but due to its part-time nature and having some intermittent breaks, it didn't...

    PR with unauthorized study?

    Thanks for your replies so far. I'm currently still on the PGWP but planning to apply for an OWP once AOR is received. It has been over a year since the cessation of my unauthorized study while on PGWP. In which ways would you expect this whole situation to affect my OWP eligibility while PR...
