COPR received, do I cancel the visitor record?

[JingleBella]

Hi all,

My husband received his COPR today and is now a permanent resident. However, he had come into Canada last fall on a visitor visa. We applied for a visitor record (extension) so he could stay past the six month allowance which put him on “implied status”.

Now that his PR final, should I cancel the visitor extension application (which hasn’t been touched yet by immigration) or would this nullify the two months he stayed after his visitor visa technically expired?

Thanks!

No need to do anything about that, I believe.

I'm in the same boat! Submitted a webform about this so can you let you know once I get a reply.

Reply from IRCC is below. I guess there is a chance that they might refund the fee!

Yes you should send in a webform telling IRCC that your husband has landed as a PR and not to process the extension.
