Greetings, I’m in a position in which I need to know what I should brace myself for.
My Permanent Residency is still processing, the latest update was on August 4, informing that I passed the medical exam. Along with that, I have also applied for a Bridging Open Work Permit as my previous permit expired in July, and currently I’m in an implied status. According to the letter sent by IRCC, I’m authorized to continue working until September 30 or until a decision has been made. That means I only have one month left and yet I haven’t got any word about it, so you’ll understand if I’m starting to feel restless (is it normal that they take this long to approve a work permit?).
My questions are about what I’m supposed to do if nothing happens before September 30. Am I allowed to stay in Canada but not working anymore? Do I have to leave or I’m obliged to stay until the PR process is over? If I leave, will that impact my PR process, or can I wait for the resolution in my home country?
Thanks for your answers, the more elaborate the better.
