Dilemma

[scylla]

1. You say you have filed an for a visitor extension online. When filing an extension online you should get an immediate acknowledgement that it has been accepted. If this is true, since you filed it before your current status expired, you will be on implied status until a decision is made on the visitor extension.

2. You have filed a PR application with an OWP application so hopefully you will get your visitor extension, then first stage approval and an open work permit.

Agreed with the above. In your original post (the one I replied to) you made no mention of the online application for a visitor extension. Now that you have provided full details - it sounds like you should be fine. Always best to post complete / detailed information when asking questions.

Pretty sure if you send off an application to change the condition of your visa you are on implied status. What is the point of being given implied status after stage 1 when they give you the work permit either way.

Ill be in a similar situation in a month but I'm just going to the border to change my iec to a visitor.

Exactly. As ive said my friend's status ran out before AIP and he was fine , he even talked to a CBSA officer before AIP as he had to get a police clearance. I'm pretty sure if open work permit is submitted with the inland sponsorship it has implied status, The work permit is approved with AIP so why should there be implied status after AIP, I would send an application to extend as visitor online before your status runs out on Monday if they dont receive your inland sponsorship appication before your current status runs out. I don't know why you waited till the last minute to submit your application though. My friend submitted his even without the police clearance just to make sure they got it before his status ran out. He has AIP and an open work permit now.

Actually, even without having applied online, if the OP sends the PR and OWP applications via Canada Post Xpress or Registered Mail on or before the date their current permit expires they will be on "implied status". Ensure the envelope is date stamped and they have a dated receipt. By virtue of submitting the application in this manner (Canada Post is a recognized agent of the government of Canada), they have complied with the Regulations.

It has been an absolute ridiculous couple months. Work has definitely caused delays.. I have always been a last minute type of person i guess. I don't really know what else to say. Sorry forgot to mention that, I have been so stressed, i am surprised i am standing on both feet today. I have definitely learned not to wait till the very end, but there is really not much else we can do beyond this point.. I appreciate your responses, it's helped a lot!!
