my lawyer is an idiot then. but I understood from immigration website that implied statues only granted if you applied for work permit and till decision is made you can have implied statues. but if no legal status exists and you will applied for PR doesn't matter you can have implied status? isn't this correct?Fire this clown "lawyer". Where do you even find these people. This lawyer is at best an incompetent idiot and at worst, a scammer.
You have implied status as long your application is being processed, meaning you won't be kicked out. You probably can't travel with this implied status as there is no document to prove this status to carriers but you are legally allowed to stay until there is a decision on your application.
