I have been in Canada for 7 years now (5 on a study permit and 2 on a work permit). My work permit expired September 17, 2016 and I was basically forced to restore my status as a visitor in Canada until I could figure out what to do with my life (leave and go back to my home country or be a visitor). I applied for the restoration of status on December 13, 2016.
One week after me applying for my restoration of status as a visitor I received an ITA for Permanent Residency. I've been waiting on an invitation for ~2 years now and got working on it immediately. I submitted my application for PR last week friday (January 13, 2017).
Considering that I submitted my restoration of status application without me even knowing that I would get an ITA before it got confirmed/deined, does anyone know if there would be an issue or a problem that I have both those application in and pending? Should I call CIC and let them know that I have an application in for a visitors visa and also an application in for PR? I'm worried that this may look sketchy or shaddy to them.
Any thoughts?
