Hey everyone,
I have a somewhat confusing situation but I'll try to explain it in the clearest way possible.
I’m applying for a Permanent Resident application currently being on Implied Status while my (most probably) to be refused paper-based Open Work Permit extension application is being processed. The application was sent to IRCC on February 10, 2020, and received on February 12, 2020. My current work permit expired on February 16, 2020. I such move to get implied status while my LMIA being finalized to continue working. So on February 16 my employer got a positive LMIA for me. I've called CIC to ask what will happen if I submit another work permit application with a support of LMIA, they added the LMIA number to the current application. But the application was filled up with the info that I'm looking for an extension of Open Work Permit and I think it will still be refused.
So my current situation is: I have applied for a PR with my LMIA, currently on implied status from my (most probably) refused in the future OWP extension. But I have a valid LMIA on my hands and can get a closed WP based on that. Now here are my questions:
1. Can I submit another application for a closed WP while another one being processed?
2. Do I lose my current implied status if I do so?
3. Will it have to be restoration of status since my current WP expired Feb 16, 2020?
4. Should I rather try to benefit from Bridging WP?
If you have any other ideas for my case, please let me know.
Thanks in advance.
