Do you need to maintain legal status if you apply Inland?

Hello everyone,

So I just read in the how-to guide that if an applicant is applying Inland you do not need to apply for an extention on a visa. I did not know this and applied for an extention, which was granted. So here is my question: since we are applying Inland will I need to reapply for an extension when it is up or not? My visa is up this Oct.

Send an open work permit application with your inland sponsorship (same envelope). That will give you implied status, no need to extend your current visa.

If I remember correctly, you're on implied status while waiting for word about your inland PR application. This means that you're allowed to be in the country, but the status is lost, and your application forfeit, if you leave.
