Dear Members,

Hope this post finds you well.

Need help.

Current situation: -

I am on pgwp and finding employment, my spouses owp is expiring on 31 Aug 2018. We have applied for PR in June 2018 but awaiting decision. I have applied to extend her stay as a visitor on 17 Aug 2018 and awaiting decision.

My concerns: -

1) Hypothetically if my PR gets approved before 31 aug and we send for stamping immediately, can she stay in canada after 31 aug legally?
2) If the decision on visitor application is not made until 31 Aug, can she still stay legally in Canada until decision is made?
3) If her visitor application is rejected, how much time does she have to leave the country?
4) Any other options?

Any help will be most appreciated. Thanks in advance.
