Implied status means when u applied for new work permit before ur current WP expires with CIC and in between ur work permit expires which is called implied status under which u can continue to work while waiting for CIC decision on ur new work permit..if u didnt apply for new WP before ur current WP expires then u r out of status.so u have 90 days from the date ur WP expired to restore it but u can not work during tht time..
I hope i cleared ur confusion...and for AINP i dont know how will they process applications with implied or out of status...i hope u will hear from them soon..i think forum member name jologz was in same condition as u so he might be able to help u out..
Good luck..
Hi there,
applying for lmia does put u under implied status and u will get ur AINP cerficate even after ur visa expired. that's been the case with me. my work permit expired in Novmber 2014. my employer had applied for LMIA and I was under implied status and received my nomination yesterday
