Hi guys, I have some questions, I am on a work permit and it's going on expired on 27 January 2021, I've applied for PR on 10th March but still waiting for COPR. I have to go back home for the wedding. December 1 was my marriage date but because my application hasn't been approved so I had to change plans.
1. If I go outside of the country and I get COPR then Will I be able to come back on COPR?
2. If I go outside of the country and I don't get COPR before I come back then Will I be able to enter Canada as my current work permit is going to expire on 27th January, so I have to come back before 27th and have to apply for bridging work permit?
3. If I apply for a bridging work permit then can I go out of the country on the implied status and come back to Canada?
Thanks.
@legalfalcon please help me.
1. If you are exempt from travel restrictions.
2. yes. However for a BOWP:
Who can apply for a BOWP
To be eligible, you must:
- live in Canada (Quebec not included)
- have a valid work permit that expires in 4 months or less
- be the principal applicant on your permanent residence application
- have submitted a complete application for permanent residence and passed the completeness check
- have your acknowledgement of receipt letter
- we send this letter to your account after we get your permanent residence application
Implied status and travelling outside Canada
A temporary resident with implied status who has left Canada may be allowed to
- re-enter Canada as a temporary resident, pending a decision on the renewal of their application to study or work in Canada, provided they are temporary resident visa (TRV)-exempt, as per section R190, or on a multiple-entry visa.
They may not resume work or study in Canada until their application for renewal has been granted. Those not able to resume work must satisfy the border services officer that they have sufficient means of support.
It should be noted that this applies to foreign nationals who are TRV exempt, as per paragraph R190(3)(f), and to those with multiple-entry visas. Temporary residents from TRV-required countries who have implied status and are seeking re-entry to Canada following a visit solely to the United States or St. Pierre and Miquelon are still considered to be TRV exempt, as per subparagraph R190(3)(f)(ii). In this case, their period of authorized stay is extended, pending a decision. This interpretation of the legislation is consistent with the Federal Court decision of De Brito v. Canada (Minister of Citizenship and Immigration); - apply for a new work or study permit at the port of entry (POE), provided they have a right to do so under the IRPR.
Temporary residents from TRV-required countries who are on implied status and are seeking re-entry to Canada following a visit solely to the United States or St. Pierre and Miquelon may apply for a new or subsequent work permit at the POE, as they fall under the exception of subsection R198(1).
