Thanks everybody, I applied Canadian experience class last July, and informed last Dec that my English score does not meet the requirement, and also mentioned I am suppose to stay legal status. I took the test again this may, got the right score. My concern is if they will grant me the PR or remove me because of my status.
Another question is if I get a job offer or accepted by a school now, can I apply the permit and get my status back?
Do I have other options under this situation?
ok, first things first. I guess you had a study or wp that now is expired, if so first thing is to look for "restoration of status" which is possible only if the expiration of your old permit is on the last 90 days:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/5551ETOC.asp#restoration
"You may seek restoration within 90 days after your status as a visitor, student or worker has been lost, because you failed to comply with one or more of the following conditions:
You remained in Canada longer than the period authorized for your stay (but not longer than 90 days).
You changed employers or type of work before obtaining a new work permit.
You changed the type of studies, educational institution, location of studies, or times and periods of studies without applying to change these conditions on your study permit if they were specified on your study permit.
You may still be eligible for restoration if you continue to meet the initial requirements for your stay and have not failed to comply with other conditions imposed."
However if this is not possible for you, you still can apply for CEC from outside the country, i want to believe that your claimed work experience was during legal status, if not, your application will be rejected
just look to do the things the right way and you should not have any problem
