In april 2023
If you complete no studies since arriving in Canada, you are in Canada without status and cannot apply for an OWP with just AOR. You have to wait for AIP.

are you sure? I have seen on their website that it can be applied by SP
Look at bullet point # 2
If you never studied from the get go, then you’ve lost your student status . And how were you experiencing financial problems from the start when you’re supposed to have funds ?
You’d have no status . Holding a student permit kinda implies you’ll be studying . Not just hanging out
  • Conditions of a study permit:
    To maintain your student status, you need to actively pursue your studies, meaning enrolling in a program and making progress towards completing it within a reasonable timeframe.

  • 150-day rule:
    If you stop studying for more than 150 days without a valid reason, you are considered not actively pursuing your studies and may lose your status.

Is my PR application gonna be fine ?
Your PR application will likely be more closely reviewed to make sure the relationship is genuine.

everything is legit and genuine in our relationship since i came here we have proofs of conversations and couple of times meeting and now we live together, when you mentioned closely reviewed so they ask for more information usually? I am ready to go for more
