Doubts - Permanent Residence by Sponsorship - Currently living in Canada

[Alurra71]

I am not sure why folks are advising to wrote the expiry of her trv as her 'to' date on question 10. All questions I answered with a 'to' field that fell into that category I filled in the date that I signed the application. They know you likely will reside longer than that if you are able, and since you are sending an Inland application you better be able to. Why would you put the expiry of your TRV as you don't know if you will leave Canada again and then try to re-enter which would throw all those dates off, yes?

I am just trying to put things logically into perspective here. I am not sure how others have done it, or if they have completed their landing and such. I have done it and completed my landing and I used the date I entered Canada for my 'from' and the date I signed my application before sending it off in the 'to' and it worked.

Do I need to extend my visitor visa if applying for PR inland?

If you submit an Open Work Permit app with your inland PR app, you don't need to extend your visitor status. The OWP gives you Implied Status to stay in Canada beyond the expiry of your visitor status, until you get Stage 1 approval; you will then receive the work permit.

The date really doesn't matter. It isn't set in stone; many people put a date down and then stay beyond it or leave before it. It doesn't affect the processing of the PR app. The OP could put the application date, visitor status expiry date, 6 months from now, the end of the year; the VO will know that she won't be leaving on that date anyways because it's an inland app.
