has this law changed?

[eightbelles]

R186(u) allows for persons to continue working under the conditions of an expired work permit, as long as they applied for a new work permit before the original work permit expired and have remained in Canada.

Once the decision has been made, the client will either have to leave Canada or will continue as a worker who holds a valid work permit.

A temporary resident must apply to extend their period of authorized stay before it ends.

If they have done so, their period of authorized stay as a temporary resident is extended by law until a decision is made [R183(5)].
Reason i'm asking is because aip won't be for 4 months after his work permit expires and he needs to keep working

No, this law has not changed. But the 'implied status' only applies to certain work permits and in certain circumstances.

IEC visas and PGWP visas; are by nature not extendable; as is written right on the document itself. You can not extend either of these by applying for a new permit and benefiting from the 'implied status' part until a decision is made. You can use this for closed permit jobs that you previously had to have an LMIA for, while you wait for the new permit and LMIA and also for an OWP permit.

The only time you can extend a PGWP is if you are applying in the economic immigration classes, such as CEC and then you may apply for a 'bridging permit' that will allow you to benefit from the 'implied status' while waiting for a determination of your application.

Of course, since you are posting this question in the Family Class Sponsorship part of this forum I will assume you are asking this in regards to familial sponsorship.

Hello .,
Yes I am because he is on a closed work permit and from what i gather as long as I have sent for an owp with my inland app it gives him implied status under that and he did need a lmo or whatever the new thing is now and that he can continue with his permit until a decision is made on the matter is this correct?

That is correct. He would benefit from implied status and be able to continue in his current job until a decision is made about his OWP application. He will of course, need to ensure his employer is aware of this fact because some of them panic when the permit itself expires and they aren't familiar with CIC guidelines concerning implied status.
