My work permit expired back in March but I was able to apply for extension before the expiry. Now that I am on implied status, I wanted to plan ahead on what may come.

The work permit is dependent on SP's PGWP which is still under processing status. We are expecting it to be processed this month.

Meanwhile, my work permit is expected to be processed by July but we are not sure of what the outcome will be.

1. If its refused, can I re-apply immediately and continue working based on implied status again? Or have to stop even if re-application is done?
2. Is it advisable to get a TRV while waiting for the extension?
3. If in case it gets refused based on NOC, what should be our next steps? Can we flagpole on expired work permit? Or does the TRV needs to come first before we can do flagpoling?
4. Does flagpoling require the PGWP to be present to confirm the NOC code?
5. In the event that the PGWP was refused, do both PGWP and OWP have to stop working even if OWP is still waiting for the decision?
