Hi guys!

I am now eligible to apply for TR to PR essential non helathcare as I have been in my job 1 year. I'm currently on IEC WHV which expires August 15th 2021.

I have seen the tweet stating that BOWP will not be available for the new streams which means from August 15th I can't work until I get a decision. I know I can get a visitor record to stay in the country but I can't afford to go more than 3 months unemployed.

Am I allowed to go home until PR is approved and then I can come back to Canada? Or do I need to stay in canada the entire time until I get a decision?

If I need to stay, is there any other way for me to continue working if I can't get BOWP or LMIA from employer?

Thank you for any help!
