Your application could still be done within 12 months as you can go from not hearing anything to DM within 24 hours. simply keep checking your ecas and that you're not missing any required documents and if that's all good then just wait.
Thanks a lot @dominicantiguan i wl do that and hope fast and positive outcome!!!
Thank you profiler! By can't keep working via the bridge time, do you mean that he can't work after the PGWP expires and before he receives the spousal OWP? Yikes, we barely have 2 months then...
As long as the work permit is valid, you can keep working. But when it expires, you cannot.
Not a master, nor a professional. Hell, even my employer thinks the same (though, oddly, they promoted me like two days ago)...
). They can take 3-6 months to complete. But likely it was started a while ago, so it should be completed reasonably soon.Hm... I think that's only the case if we were applying for a different category of permit (i.e. was on work permit, and applying for study permit)? As long as it was a work permit, and we apply for a new work permit, implied status will be in effect I believe. Quickly checked on the CIC website:

Security check is where the Canadian intelligence community, and their international partners check to make sure you haven't been involved in anything like: acts to subvert governments, terror, war crimes, crimes against humanity, or organized crime. Generally speaking, most people don't lead such an exciting life (though I heard @meaningful1 might have ended up in Afghanistan once or twice
Two questions: What's country of origin and what area of Canada are you in? This will shape the follow up answer...
The conditions no longer exist, when you apply for the OWP available to spousal sponsorships. The categories of work permit are different, so the implied worker status doesn't apply here. I made the same argument months back, and this was pointed out to me.
Just checked with our lawyer, he said that there is open vs closed work permits, and under open work permit, there are specific categories such as the post graduate work permit... So holding a pgwp will still have implied status as long as we renew before the expiry date (phew).
So that location will require ~4 weeks to book a landing. add 65 days to that, is November 18th that you would get your PR Card -- if you had a DM today.
I might suggest having a look at my previous post. There is a link that might be of interest.Just checked with our lawyer, he said that there is open vs closed work permits, and under open work permit, there are specific categories such as the post graduate work permit...

In any case, we decided to not wait anymore. Will submit soon just to get this cleared out of the way. From the looks of it, security screening won't be done for another while.
