Hi everyone, I'm hoping our situation is a common one. My husband's PR application is currently on process. It should have been completed last January 23 (6th month estimated completion date per IRCC) but unfortunately, we think because of my son's ASD diagnosis, it got delayed. I am currently on as study permit and my husband is on a work permit both expiring on March 10. He is going to apply for a bridging work permit while waiting for the PR result and because I am currently working too and love my workplace (my program is on break and will resume on March), I am thinking of applying for an open work permit too instead of extending my study permit. Is that allowed? I mean, will I have any issues? I read that international students can take a semester off but while on authorized leave, I won't be allowed to work on and off campus. So I'm not sure if I should just extend my study permit or apply for an open work permit too.
I hope somebody can advise me on this... Thank you
