Hello
I am very grateful for the information I get in this forum.
We have finished filling in forms for inland PR. I am currently waiting for police clearance from my home country (taking forever sigh)
As we wait, I have become concerned with the status of my dependant child (a minor). It is my understanding that when the PA submits PR (inland application) with OWP and they have a valid visitor status at the time of application, it is then considered as a request to extend their temporary resident status and are considered to have implied status as a visitor, until a decision is made on their work permit application. And if the OWP is refused while the visitor status is still valid, they can then apply to extend their stay; if it refused when their visitor status has expired they can apply to restore their status.
Now what happens with the PA's dependant-minor child's status? If she has a valid visitor status at the time of the PR application, which is expected to expire in about 2 months, should they also include an application for extension of the child's visitor status together with the PR application?
