Hi, My work permit has already expired, and I've submitted OINP skilled trade since Sept. Looks like still need few months to get results.

I have nothing to do here now and winter is suffering here. I am considering apply for Visitor Record first, then leaving Canada and waiting for results.

Does anyone knows is that possible? I have visa on passport I think I still can come back as a visitor. But im not sure does OINP requires applicants stay in Ontario until they make decision.

Thank you for replying. So you confirmed with somebody that it will not affect the approval process?
Yes! but up to your stream, i'm on skilled trade, it does not require me keep working while processing application, so i'm ok to leave. If your stream requires you maintain working then i guess should stay there
