Hello,
I'd like to seek for advice here. My husband is PNP PR applicant and I'm his dependent.
Our permit will expire in Jan while our PR is still in process, so we had to get our permit renewed.
Since I just graduated and I thought it's a good idea to get a post grad work permit, so I applied online.
One month passed, nothing happen. And it's gonna take 3 more months.
I know I can start working with implied status, but I think it's a lot better to have a valid permit on hand asap, since we need to travel soon.
Later, I realized that I can get the spouse open work permit as well. So we both went to the border and get our permits done.
Now I got spouse open work permit.
At first I plan to cancel my post grad online application, right after I got the one from the border.
But now I hesitate to cancel it, given that spouse open work permit will become invalid in case my husband lose his job (hopefully we're not that unlucky, but who knows).
If I have post grad wp, it won't affect. Another good thing is that it will valid a few months longer. This could help save some money in case we can't get our PR within next year.
Does anyone ever has the same issue as me? Please share your experience.
Here are my questions:
1. Will I still be issued the post grad work permit if CIC notes from the system that I already have the spouse one?
I know they don't encourage us to submit many applications for the same service. But in my thought although both of them are open work permit type but they are different categories, aren't they?
2. If it's wrong to apply for both permits, what are the consequences?
Thank you so much
