Hi! My work permit is expiring soon, unfortunately we got married close to the expiring date, so we’re summiting forms kinda close to the end of this. Can I work while the forms were just sent to CIC? Or shall I stop working until they send a confirmation email?

Assuming you are applying inland with an OWP, you can continue working as long as the app is submitted prior to your current permit expiring.

I would also suggest you apply for a visitor extension prior to your current permit expiry, as this will maintain your legal status in case the OWP/PR app is returned.

Thanks! I have a valid Canadian visa till 2022, I hope that works. Adding an extra question. Because we just moved together after the wedding, has been 1 month we don’t have a joint account. What other evidence can we summit as financial support?
Thanks so much for your time !

The validity of the TRV has nothing to do with status in Canada.

Any money transfers, joint purchases, both paying for bills etc.
