Angtao - I have been wondering this same thing as well. I wasn't aware that I had to send it in with my PR app, so obviously I didn’t and now feel a bit stuck. What advice have you received on this? Can you please keep me updated on how you go? Pleaseangtao said:Guys, especially LY, I want to send in the open work permit. Do I need to have everything on the document checklist at this link?

Angtao,i had the same problem ,work permit expired on the sept 15,2011 but i send in the application for the renewal or extension and they received it on the august 12,2011 so i can still be working at the same since its now implied status until i get the extension.....but i just got my AIP the same day my work permit expired......so just send in the OWP before its get expired else you cant be an implied status .hope this help you clear your doubt.good luck.angtao said:Angus, I will definitely keep you posted. That document checklist for the open work permit is long and I already sent in all that stuff with the PR app. I feel like this is never ending. I wish the guy that we hired had sent in the Open Work Permit from the beginning.
I am not 100% sure but I think you can remain working at the same job even if your work permit expires. Can someone confirm?
