Inland application while being on implied status as visitor

[QHF]

Hi Everyone,

I currently have the status of visitor to Canada, while my spouse is a PR.

We have decided to submit an inland application for PR + OWP, and are waiting to receive some documents from my home country.

I have already applied to extend my stay as a visitor, as my status in Canada expires in a few days.

My query is, will submitting a PR application while being on implied status lead to any complication? Do I need to expedite my application so that it is received by CPC-M before my status changes to implied?

Also, would it be possible to change my status from OWP to Study Permit later if I wish to enrol in a course?

Thanks!

Not an issue. You can apply for a study permit but if I were you I would wait until getting PR to avoid the hassle and avoid paying international tuition.

You should really wait for the documents before submitting your application. Your application will likely be sent back if not complete during intake.

@canuck78 Thank you for your reply.

No, it is not my intention to submit an incomplete application.

The thing is, I am likely to receive certain documents very close to the date my visitor status expires. So, should I attempt to rush in my application? I have already applied for an extension, so I should have implied status even if I do not.
