Hello,
I have applied for PR under AIP pilot program, and my application is in processing. Everything is completed about me abut, but my wife's X-Ray postpones until after the baby's delivery because of her pregnancy.
Unfortunately, my wife is having a difficult pregnancy and needs care, and since we don't have anyone in Canada to care for my pregnant wife, I want to get unpaid leave for 5 months to care for my wife.
I want to make sure that this unpaid leave with an exact date of return to work will affect the process of reviewing my case, and can it cause a problem?
Do I have to announce this leave to IRCC?
I had an after graduate work permit when I applied to PR. Can I extend my work permit while on unpaid leave?
Thank you in advance for your guiding me!
No you won’t be able to apply to extend WP if on unpaid leave. You’ll also have to update IRCC about any changes in your work status so your unpaid leave from your employer. When does your PGWP end because that is likely tied to healthcare coverage for you and your family?
