Hi All ,
Just looking for advice on the following

Submitted spousal sponsorship application today along with the application for the OWP . Being so focused on the spousal section , I forgot the document checklist and supporting docs for the work permit , however all of the documents are already in the spousal section such as passport copy .Do I need separate supporting documents for the open work permit ?

Can I send these after with an explanatory note ?
If the OWP is returned by the time my work permit has expired do I lose implied status ?

If so can I apply for restoration of status ?

I really appreciate any help on this topic ,

Thank you !

They are 2 separate applications so both need a copy of the documents. Would personally resend the OWP and attach a letter explaining. The OWP should get refused as incomplete. OWP is what gives you implied status so make sure to extend visitor status if needed.

Hi Canuck thanks for the response , I am already on an open work permit so do I extend as a worker or visitor?

Bloody hell I overlooked the checklist for the OWP. I’m wondering whether to send it with an explanation but not sure how they’d tie it up with PR application I sent in Friday. All the required docs are in the PR application.
