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
