I recently received my open work permit (as part of the pilot) after waiting for over a year since residence. Problem is, my common law partner and I are starting to question our relationship and I may have to back out of my residence application if we don't fix things. Would this void my work permit? It is valid until January 2017 and says nothing on it about guidelines or stipulations for keeping it. I've been told before that once CIC issues a permit they don't tend to look into revoking it, I just want to make sure so I know how to plan for my future. Thanks
As Ponga has mentioned, I think the OWP under the pilot program is linked to PR sponsorship thus, the moment the PR sponsorship is official withdrawn, after the spouse reports the breakdown to CIC and withdraw the application, the OWP will be void. Any visas that you had before getting OWP will also be voided as well since OWP overrides any previous visa status granted (you can't hold two difference visa status same time). You would basically be "out of status" and have to leave Canada immediately. You can then re-enter Canada if you currently have a valid TRV or from visa exempt country to gain a new status as visitor status, or apply for a restoration of status within 90 days of being "out of status"
