True, but some people here already received their AOR so there's no chance of their file getting sent back and they still want to apply for visitor visa extension when they don't have toHey all.
I am going to post my experience with visitor extension while applying for OWP and sponsorship.
It’s not necessary to apply for visitor extension as long as you send your sponsorship application + work permit before your visitor status expires. The open work permit will give you implied status.
HOWEVER:
It is smart to apply for a visitor extension if your status is going to expire before your work permit can get accepted (3-4 months). This is because if your application were to get sent back, the work permit gets put on hold and you are no longer on implied status. If your visitor visa had already expired and you are after your restoration date- you could be put in a tough situation.
This is unlikely but in case the application were to be sent back due to errors I had applied for an extension in October ( one month before i sent the sponsorship application) and it got approved beginning on January. - as long as you write the reason why you want an extension is to ensure you maintain legal status during the entire process of your application, you should be okay.
Thanks! Hope I helped.
You can't be sure since it's not 100% guaranteed re-entry, it all depends on the CBSA officer that is going to interview him at the border. You should still wait for your AOR and OWP (it's better if he gets an offer for a job too) before leaving so he can represent all that at the port of entry, and if you guys left you shouldn't leave for longer than 10 days, the longer you leave the riskier it is.Thanks but he has a ten year multiple entry visa so I am sure it will be ok???
You count from when the application was receivedGood afternoon
When do I start counting four months to receive OWP. Is it from when application was received or when I received AOR?
@Huntstory @u_amyI’m inland November 23 2018 managed to link application but still no AOR, hopefully all is good this time(2time sending application)
Alright thank youYou count from when the application was received
The calls dont go through because of a large call volume; thats what they say.
26 Nov application recd. no AOR yet. I am wondering how come IRCC is processing 4 Jan applicants as mentioned by another member on this forum.The calls dont go through because of a large call volume; thats what they say.
But I am wondering if anyone who had their applications received after Nov 22 has gotten the AOR? I read through the thread and from what I can see, people after that date are yet to receive their AOR
thanks for the reply, I am wondering the same also. it feels like the agent may have given a scripted answer.26 Nov application recd. no AOR yet. I am wondering how come IRCC is processing 4 Jan applicants as mentioned by another member on this forum.

My details were definitely in the system as she didn't even want to know the receipt number and asked my other half who is the sponsor, if his email address was such and such etc.thanks for the reply, I am wondering the same also. it feels like the agent may have given a scripted answer.
