Hi All,
I need your help! I'm currently awaiting my PNP nomination through Express Entry BC.
My current OPEN IEC work permit ends on August 22nd, and on current timescales I expect my nomination around the second week of September.
Does anyone know how this will affect me staying in Canada? Right now I plan to apply to switch to visitor status before my open permit expires, giving me implied status as a VISITOR until approved. Does anyone know of any issues with this plan?
Once the nomination and ITA are received, and I have my Express Entry application submitted, is it worth risking going to the border to attempt to obtain a new open work permit while mine is in processing? Or would this be risky and possibly result in me not being allowed back in?
Any guidance would be much appreciated, as my work permit expires in less than a week!
Many Thanks,
Dave
