If i ll not apply for extension before 13-dec-11 and i wait till end of jan-12 for ppr thts means still i am in legal status
hi raj84,
if you apply for a new permit before the current one expires, then you have an implied status until you get a response from CIC.
if your permit expired within 90 days, you can apply for restoring of your status but no guarantee for issue.
if your permit expired and you don't do anything about it, the answer is a big NO.
you've gone this far, don't let your status become a problem, just apply for extension. everyday that you stay in canada you need legal status.
please read:
Regulations 183(5), 186(u) and 189 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (“IRPR”) each offer solutions for visitors, workers and student respectively. The common theme between these three regulations is what is known as “implied status”. Basically if a worker, student or visitor files an application to extend their status in Canada, they may remain in Canada on the terms of the original status until a decision is made on their application to extend. That is, a worker can continue to work, a student can continue to study and a visitor can continue to visit until they get an answer on their extension application, so long as they remain in Canada.
Note that two items are absolutely imperative. First, it is a deal-breaker if the applicant does not file their extension application before their current immigration document expires. This means that the application to extend must be post-marked at least the day before a given permit expires. While I know that the CIC website says you have to file at least 30 days prior to expiration, they will accept applications postmarked as late as the day prior to expiration. The better practice is to extend as early as possible.
