PNP application, AOR stage, got laid off

[Miss bee]

Thanks for the info. So Can I not use AOR to apply for Bridging open work permit and have to wait till I reactive "Approved in Principle" ? Some thread say that AOR can be considered as Approved in Principle to apply BOWP? So just confirming?

If you applied PR under PNP stream, you just need AOR letter. That is called Approved in principle in PNP stream PR . Make sure you check your nomination letter that you don’t have employment restrictions on your nomination.

So what I was told by my lawyer is that you can apply for BOWP once you receive your AOR but that would mean that you already were in Canada on work permit. If that's the case for you then I believe you can go ahead and apply using your GC Key account.

Dear Vivian, Thanks heaps for the information. I am in Canada and having open work permit which will expire in Aug 2024. My PR application is non-express entry through PNP stream, in which they ask for Approved in Principle letter but I guess in my case AOR can be considered as Approved in Principle, am I correct?

Absolutely. Your AOR letter is all you need to extend your work permit. Also make sure you check your nomination letter if you have employer restrictions on it . If you have employer restriction, you have to apply closed work permit then .
