Thanks for the swift response! We will do that if we havent heard back by the end of the month!It is always better to be in status. If your worker status expires, then you can no longer work and if you do so, you contravene and are in violation of immigration laws, which can delay the processing of your PR application.
Irrespective of what stage your PR application is at, make sure you file in time any extensions for your work permits. You have nothing to lose.
Im just a tiny bit concerned about her sowp -- ive held a skilled noc a job for 2 years and have payslips, showing common law is not an issue either, but im worried about the old 'ties to home country' and the app getting rejected for that, she doesnt have much ties if im here (although ive seen on other post/forums that ties to country dont matter much once youre inside Canada and ppl dont really show much for sowp of pgwp if applying inside).
Do you think there will be any issues as she is on her own pgwp, and now moving into a dependant sowp or its a normal thing and should be ok?
