Hello,

My PR application was about to be approved last week, (interview was scheduled a few days ago), but my partner withdrew the application before.
I am going to apply for PR through Express Entry but I need a couple of more months to be in the CEC.
While applying for PR with my partner, I got an open work permit after four months. It's valid until 2022.

My question is, can I still keep it so I can get enough work experience before applying for PR through Express Entry?
It is linked to my sponsorship application and. A bit confused as what I can do or not.

Thank you for taking the time to read this message.

Cheers

Yes - your open work permit is still valid and you can continue working in Canada until it expires.
