Hi!
I think you only need to show your HR department the copy of the document that proves that you applied for a new Work Permit, and that’s it. You have implied status while your permit is processing.
I have a question for you though,
Did you submit your application for your Work Permit Renewal online? I’m tying to do this with mine but in the Questionnaire, they ask if I applied for a PR with a Protected Person status and got first stage approval, which I haven’t received anything yet. So I’m a little confused as to which options I should select to be able to apply online.
