immigration office requested for processing this application?

The manuals say that people with AIP should generally be allowed to re-enter Canada if there are no problems with their PR application. Once you get AIP, the risk of being denied entry is supposed to be low. The danger is that if you are denied entry and not let back in quickly, then you lose your application, because the requirement to live with your spouse in Canada until PR is granted can't be met if you can't even get into the country. In that situation, you'd have to re-apply outland.

"Implied status" is another thing you get only when you apply inland - even if your work permit expires, you can automatically keep working under the same conditions until a decision is made on your PR (provided you submitted an OWP application with the PR application). There are some exceptions to this, it seems, so you'd have to check whether this is applicable to a postgrad work permit. If so, she'd be able to continue to work in Canada until a decision was made on the PR.

The exception is that she can continue working on PGWP until it expires. She cannot work beyond that date until she gets OWP as PGWP cannot get "implied status" since it cannot be extended within Canada. If she gets OWP before her PGWP expires then nothing changes. She can continue working with current employer.

Hi everyone!

A blessed New Year to all! I am currently completing my documents under the Application for Permanent Residence from within Canada and I would like to make sure that we filled out all the forms correctly.

First of all, I was undecided which way to go for the application, whether inland or outland but I chose the first one, although I've been told that the latter would be more faster in terms of it's processing timeline. I just figured since I am here in Canada as a TFW and my work permit does not expire until July 2014, I could apply for open work permit at the same time, and that would extend my stay here just the same.

I just have one quick question under IMM 0008 form question #4- should I write down Manila Philippines since it's my country of nationality or CPC Mississauga or Vegreville?, since I've been legally admitted in Canada for more than 2 years now.

Thanks!

All inland apps are processed at Vegreville, no matter what your nationality is.
