Hi,

Unfortunately, specific to IEC - the work permit cannot be extended. See here:

You can't extend it, but you can re-apply at a visa office outside of Canada, provided bilateral agreements under IEC allow multiple participations. As in your other posts, you mentioned you have a Chilean passport, I am assuming you are from Chile. If that is the case, the bilateral agreement allows one participation only, so sorry to tell you, there is no re-application. See here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/temp/work/opinion/experience/bilat.asp

Ouch! Yeah. I know chile can not extend their working visa with the IEC program anymore.. I was thinking may be cause my siituation was change ???

But i still can i apply for TRV inside Canada right? like visit how long can I ask for?
I have no intention to return to live in Chile, i just want to stay with my husband, but have the possibility to travel to meet my parents.

My husband, have a bad tax situation after stay 5 year outside Canada, is going to take like 9 month to get it fixed, they said :( So when that is done we can start with the PR application.. or can he apply for sponsor with no NOA?

So how I apply for OWP once we start PR application? If I apply before my Work Permit expired, do i get implied status?

Thanks ragluff, you always around to help, thanks for your time :)

Yes you can still apply for a TRV inside Canada considering you still have legal status in the country. As to how long you can ask for, well the TRV only has a validity date until when it can be used to re-enter the country. You may be referring to "how long can you ask for in an application to extend your stay as a visitor" which results in a visitor record and is different from a TRV (which is an entry doc used for travelling back into Canada/entering Canada). How long a period to ask for an extension is dependent much on the reasons for your stay - do you have enough funds for your stay, etc. You will be evaluated under the requirements of temporary resident applications.

This seems to be a Spouse Sponsorship question, better post this question to the Family Class section of the forum - http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/family-class-sponsorship-b5.0/
So how I apply for OWP once we start PR application? If I apply before my Work Permit expired, do i get implied status?
Well under these circumstances, you may not even be eligible for an open work permit now. IEC cannot be extended, and there are no other options right now making you eligible for any work permit (no PR application, no new LMIA, etc.)

Generally, if you apply for any extension application (work permit/extension of stay as a visitor) before the current permit expires, you get implied status until a decision is made on your application.

.../all the best
