Hello Everyone.
My husband and I (principal applicant) recently got married, and we are about to send the applications for my PR under family sponsorship class within Canada.
I am currently on Post Graduate Work Permit (PGWP) that expires in April 2017. Considering of the 26 months-long processing time, applying for Open Work Permit (OWP) will be necessary for me to stay and continue working in Canada.
My questions on this matter are:
1. Am I allowed to apply for OWP at the same time of my PR application? or should I apply only for PR for now and wait until later this year for applying for the OWP since the current PGWP will be valid more than a year from now?
- From CIC website, I found that there is a Pilot Program as well as a bridging open work permit. I am not quite sure which OWP will be the one I need to apply for..
2. My husband and I are planning to go visit my family in Japan this coming March for 2 weeks. With my current PGWP, there should be no problem for me to come back to Canada. But my concern is if I send my PR application before our vacation, will this cause any issue when I leave/enter back to Canada in March(i.e. cancelling my application)?
I would like to apply for my PR as soon as I can but wanted to address the above concern.
Many thanks!
