It would appear something has come up in your application/sponsorship. If it has been referred to an office without AIP then the usual cause is bona fides of the marriage. Looks like you are going to be sitting at home for another year, unless you obtain an LMO from and employer and apply for a work permit.

Yes Salim,
You will have to inquire about open work-permit which they give in some cases.
In Canada PR takes from 1 year to 3 years for PR approval, so try to get the work-permit.

If your file was transferred without AIP,then you can't get an OWP.

One of the requirements of the inland process is that you have to be resident in Canada with your spouse/sponsor in order to be approved. They can't prevent you from leaving Canada to visit your family back home but they caution against it because, if you are not allowed to re-enter Canada (which there's no guarantee you would be) then they will close your file because you no longer meet the requirement of being present in Canada with your sponsor. You always have the option to withdraw your inland PR ap and file a new application through your home country - and you can do that while remaining in Canada, but you'd have to keep your temporary status updated separately. And, if you had to attend an interview, it would be in your home country and then you'd probably not be readmitted to Canada until after the PR process was finalized and you had your PR visa.

As far as working: even if you found an employer to offer you a job, and the employer got a positive Labour Market Opinion, you'd have to apply for a work permit through your home country - and if you were approved, then come back to Canada on the work permit.

I'd suggest you order your FOSS notes to find out what is happening with your case and why your application was transferred to the local office. PMM is right that they transfer files when there is a problem with processing and the local offices have long backlogs . . . that's why they need a year to process it, that's the backlog of their processing queue. Eventually they'll get to your case - but these long processing times when something goes wrong are one of the real disadvantages of the inland process. That and no right of appeal if the application is refused.
