Hello,
Background: I applied for spousal PR in Dec 2020 outside Canada. Application is currently in background check since Feb 2022 (eligibility, criminality, medical passed).
In the meantime I relocated to Canada with my Canadian citizen spouse in Sep 2022.
I was initially given visitor record expiring in Dec 2022.
I applied for 6-month extension on time and got extension in March 2023 valid until June 2023.
Since PR was still pending, this time I applied for open work permit for 2 years in late April 2023 which application is pending.
Question: Do I still need to apply for extension in my visitor record or application for work permit is enough for implied status?
(I have multiple entry TRV valid until 2027)
Urgent advice appreciated.
