No sane employer will accept an expired work permit with your assurance you have implied status.

You state you had a BOWP. That would suggest you had an application in an economic class (PNP, CEC, FSW, etc.) Is there a reason you decided to pursue the much slower inland spousal sponsored application process?
yeah, cic rejected my cec application for the silliest reason last year so i decided to got with spousal sponsorship this time .
Lets say the employer want me bad enough to take me anyway, can i legally change jobs under implied status?
 
We received AIP on May 13th. We received an email our file was transferred to our local office on June 24th. Haven't heard a thing since then?? Anyone else have similar situation?
 
Hi atanto,

I would suggest that you don't switch companies until you get the OWP from Stage 1. The new company may not be able to process your SIN due to the implied status.

You can always call Service Canada and ask them as well.

Hope this helps.

Hi SS Kingston,

I am currently under implied status as well and continue working for my company.
My open work permit expired a few months ago.

I just got a job offer by a different company. Can I legally switch companies under implied status?
 
Yes. I just realized that yesterday. They change their rules so frequently...

Didn't they stop issuing LMOs and start with the LMIA which are much harder to get?

Congrats Islandgirl!! I'm a March, 2013 applicant as well. No DM yet though, but hoping to get it soon.

Did you receive an email or a letter for DM?? I just moved from my last address (CIC is aware), but I fear not getting the good news on time. My eCas won't tell me much and the call center agents are lame as you know.

Good luck with your interview! Oh, its maybe right now!! :D

Unfortunately no one has access to that spreadsheet. The one in my signature is up to date.
Could you please check the date of the decision made? It looks to be unusually close to the landing interview.

And of course, congrats to became a PR!:)

hey amjad, I am on the same boat and I`ve renewed my wife visitor record twice. notice it`s visitor record instead of visa as she is inside Canada. Cheers
thanks for your reply so you think its wise to keep extending it. Because as per processing speed i am not sure that i will get approval for 1st stage in next 2 years and suggestion as per progress of application.

I know a few people here have had their files transferred to a local office, but as far as I know that happened before AIP. Do you have any "red flags" on your file, like a criminality issue? That's the only reason I can think your file would be transferred to a local office after AIP and before DM. Although, they can refuse an application at any point (including during the landing interview).
