Our PR was approved and we received yesterday immigration documents and notification that we are to go to the border and land. We are located in Toronto.My WP expired 31st January.My employer applied for a new LMO January 2nd, but as of yet has received no response from HRSDC that it was approved or not.I submitted a WP extension application on the 30th of January (just before WP expired) without LMO. Therefore was under implied status. 4th April received letter from CIC that WP extension has not been rejected but we need to restore status within 90 days of letter (April 4th).Letter said we need to get a positive LMO and resubmit application as is with restoration fees and new WP will be granted. My question is do I need to make 100% sure I have valid WP in hand before we land or does PR have nothing to do with WP and we can land because PR has been granted and then WP will just fall away.
Now, I am no expert or anything, but it is my understanding based on what I've read on this forum and through my own research, that you would be able to land. And, once landed, you would have the necessary paperwork to go directly to a Service Ontario office to apply for your SIN#. It is also my understanding that you will be issued a SIN# on the spot. However, if there is an actual card that is issued would take a little bit to receive. To my understanding, once you are given the SIN#, you are able to start work right away.
Hopefully, one of the senior members will be able to attest or deny this, but this is my understanding. I hope I am correct in this. All the best to you!
