Status in Canada - schedule A question

[aika1987]

Need your help Guys!
schedule A – personal history - they are asking about your status in foreign country (other than your country of nationality). My husband WP expired on May 7th 2014. Before that we applied for another WP (while waiting for LMO). We were on IEC Working Holiday (no implied status?). He stopped working on May 6th (day before his WP expired). His application for WP was rejected on June 17th. We left Canada on July 4th 2014.
What status should we claim for period May 7 – July 4?
His refusal letter is saying: „your temporery Resident Status expired on 2014/06/17.” What with period June 18 – July 04? Out of status?
We left Canada as soon as we could, but it is still 17 days without status. May this affect our PR application?
thanks in advance for all reply!

It should not considering that any removal order has not been issued against you. If you are not inadmissible than you should be OK.

thanks!
but still, what status should we indicate for this period. I am thinking "Temporary Residend; out of status 17 days" and explain again in LOE (we mentioned it already in our PR application, but they didnt ask directly about status)

Well technically he was out of status for those 17 days so it would make sense to write that. When you go out of status, you have 90 days to apply for a restoration of status so I doubt they would penalize you for that. You can always add a letter of explanation, clearly and concisely explaining the situation.

I would divide it into 2 periods. For the first, May 7-June 17, I would put "implied status", as you were waiting for an answer on the work permit. For the second, June 18-July 4, I would put 'visitor'. Then I would explain in the LOE that you were tying up loose ends and getting ready to leave Canada during this time.
