Hello
Need an urgent suggestion!
Writing in a brief...
My work permit expired on 23rd of November but whose work permit was expiring in 2023, they could apply for 18 months extension as ircc announced. So I had applied for work permit extension for me and my wife. In February, 2024 I got my work permit extension till August 2025 but my wife work permit extension for refused because we forgot to attach $100 paid fees receipt for spousal open work permit. So, we have restore her status and applied for her work permit again. So currently, she is out of status, she can stay in Canada until we get the result. Meanwhile, my OINP ( in demand skills) got approved and I'm eligible for non express entry. Now the concern is, I have to apply within 6 months after OINP approval, for that I have got my PCC but I can't get PCC for my wife as she is out of status. Moreover, I can't show in my non express entry profile that she is accompanied as she is out of status and she can't get visitor or study visa.
My parents are here on visitor visa since a week and she doesn't have anyone in India.
Now I'm dilemma that what are my options? I have a month left as OINP expiring so I have to apply for non express entry.
Your experience and expertise can help me. Please advise me the best option that she can stay in Canada and my non express entry file not get any complications.
Thank in advance
Regards
