Yes, you can apply for an extension immediately, and yes, you will have implied status while waiting.LeelaD said:Hi guys I hope this pushes my topic back to the top so I don't have to repost another question with the same information.....okay so....I recieved my reply for an extension which they granted and they have given the three months that I requested plus an extra month so I now have a deadline to leave Canada for 28 September(three weeks) ....*after* we applied for this extension we discovered we were not actually common law partners as I had gone back to UK for a time...we need another three months together now here to complete a full year or get married before our deadline which is a bit tight and we don't think we'll make....can I *now* apply for another extension....if I do will I have implied status again while I wait for the reply to that one??
Make sure you give yourself plenty of time on this extension request. Ask for at least 12 months. You could also pay some of your outland application fees ($75 for sponsor, $475 for yourself), and send a copy of the receipt along with the extension request to show you're serious about applying for PR when you've reached your 12 continual months together.
