Hello! Few weeks ago I had my PNP approved and I received a work permit support letter since my current OWP is expiring soon.

Last week I became common law with my partner (notarized). At the moment of applying in WelcomeBC it wasn’t official yet, which means that I didn’t add my partner in the initial request.

Is my partner entitled to get a closed work permit at the moment that we go to flagpole? I haven’t activated yet my new work permit because my company delayed with the compliance fee.

I tried to contact with BC PNP sending an email to their post nomination address and they replied to my first message which I think that they did not entirely understand and it’s taking a while for them to reply to my second message (Christmas vacation I guess).

I know that those changes of status have to be notified, but I assumed that it’s to IRCC to whom I have to let know and I am not sure if they have my data yet since I didn’t apply at the moment for the PR (I have until May to do so, but atm I am more concerned about renewing my permit).

Cheers!
