Submitting an OWP with the application would only give "implied status" to those that have legal status when they submitted the application. The "implied status" would kick in once the legal visa status expires.
The OWP submittal would not given an "out of status" any "implied status" because there was no status to begin with.
Also keep in mind, if you are on a study visa, you should not submit a OWP with the application as once you get OWP status, you can no longer continue your studies. You must quit. You should only submit your study visa extension if you want to continue your studies under "implied status".

Would appreciate if u could help me decide what Im going to do.
Im a temporary foreign worker here. My work permit will be expiring on January 7, 2015.My employer will not renew me again because it's hard to get a LMIA from the government.
Me and my boyfriend applied for the family sponsorship under common-law. We are been together for 2 years and we are pretty sure we meet all the qualifications for being a partner. We submitted the application last March 18, 2014 and got an AOR last August 8,2014.
Since the processing times keeps longer and longer what is the best way to have the legal status here? I don't even include an OWP application on my papers.Please help me.TIA
