I have a question regarding travels, I applied to IRCC for PR(inside Canada )so can I travel to US or am I restricted from traveling until I get my PR?
I don't think that going overseas is restricted at all. It only matters when you receive portal emails.
I got AOR when I traveled outside Canada and came back without any issue.
Emails after 'Decision Made' on GCKey. Portal emails ask whether you're in Canada and some information for eCOPR and PR cards.
You may see people say Portal 1 and Portal 2 emails.
Obviously an applicant should have a valid entry visa when coming back to Canada
Hi, does anyone have information about applying for a closed work permit (R204(c) – T13) with the OINP Employer Job Offer: Foreign Worker stream nomination certificate? In my situation, I began working for my employer as a full-time permanent employee as full-time student under the temporary IRCC full-time work authorization for full-time students last year. Currently, I am awaiting for the 1-year PGWP (applied for it 3 months ago) and lodged the Non-Express Entry (PNP) PR application a week ago. If I need to apply for a closed work permit in case my PGWP expires before the PR application processing is complete, does my employer need to pay the Employer Compliance Fee? and upload the job offer through the employer portal? (General eligibility for Foreign nationals nominated by a province – Provincial agreements [R204(c) – T13])
To be eligible for a work permit as a nominee, foreign nationals must,
have an LMIA-exempt offer of employment from an employer based in the nominating province
The employer submitted the offer in the Employer Portal and is subject to the employer compliance regime.
have a provincial support letter indicating the urgent requirement for the foreign national to begin the job prior to permanent residence
TIA

Yes if you got AOR before work permit expires, you can apply for BOWP .
If you want to extend work permit without AOR , only option is apply for closed work permit. Your employer have to submit job offer in employer portal and pay $230 compliance fees and then give you that job number starting with A123467899 nine digits. You have to put that job number in your work permit application and attach copy of nomination letter, work permit support letter and fees receipt.

Thanks! for the reply. The issue is after receiving AOR to apply for BOWP under non-express entry, it says
- have no employment restrictions as a condition of your nomination
So if you have employer restrictions on your nomination letter, only option is closed work permit but if nomination says No then you are eligible for BOWP. Looks like your nomination is restricted to your employer. In this case you won’t qualify for BOWP even though you got AOR .
I'm thinking if the employer needs to pay the compliance fee and submit the job offer to the employer portal considering the below exemption, assuming the to be approved PGWP.
You don’t need to pay the employer compliance fee if you hire a worker:
- with a valid open work permit (PGWP)
That’s true of you have PGWP but right now as you are extending your stay as a temporary resident and you can’t extend your pgwp , you you are applying for closed work permit. In this case your employer have to submit job offer under employer portal and pay $230 compliance fees . Then you have to file application and put that job offer in work permit application and attach WPSL letter, job letter, nomination letter and submit application and have to pay another work permit application fees .
