Hi there! Any one have any experience with dual intent? Specifically people from non visa exempt places. I currently submitted my PR application but the company that's offered me a job in Canada would like for me to apply for a work permit until my PR application goes through. Any thoughts?
PR application + work permit (dual intent)

There's nothing stopping you from applying for a work permit.
I assume the company has already obtained an approved LMIA?
Will be going the LMIA exempt route. I received a nomination from BC PNP (Tech pilot program) and as such also got a work permit support letter which indicates I'm eligible for an LMIA exempt work permit.
it’s completely acceptable to have dual intent. I got my work permit extended last month and this month my PR is approved.
Need some help and expert advise
I got an invite in the recent CEC draw and planning to submit the EE profile by Aug 2021 end as PCC is awaited.
My closed work permit is valid till Dec 2021 and the company has visibility for 2022 end so had asked to apply for an extension.
1. Should I apply for WP extension now and then submit PR application? I don't want my company to know about my PR application.
2. If I submit for PR application by Aug end, can I still plan to submit the Work Permit extension by Sept or Oct. Will this cause an issue?
3. My spouse is on Open work permit based on my closed WP and daughter is on dependent visitor visa. We have applied for TRV in Feb 20 but it's still awaited.
Do we need to wait for TRV to come before we apply for an extension?
Thank you in advance.
