During your 5-year eligibility period, did you have a valid temporary resident status(opens in new tab) before becoming a permanent resident?

Assalamualaikum Abbas,

JazakALLAH for the response and the link, it helps. I read through the page and have a query. Does "Unauthorized TR/NPR" mean the period you wait between the expiry of OLD WP and start date of new WP

I don’t think so, but I have limited experience when it comes to extension maybe others can chime in
One normally would apply for extension of the SP before it expires and by the time one gets the renewed WP there is always a delay. So that period you can still work legally imo
Read through this link about it https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/work-canada/permit/temporary/extend.html

I applied for bridging open work permit but got my permanent residency before application was approved and before my work permit was expired. so what will be the option for 'did you apply to extend your status?' If i say yes- its asks me to give expiry date of bridging open workpermit which can't be same as expiry date of workpermit. So should no be the answer ?

Hi there,

Am in the same situation. What did you answer in the bridging work permit question?
