Hello, I am trying to communicate to IRCC and it is imposible. I entered to Canada with a Visitor Visa, then I applied for an OWP but my visitor visa is going to expire and I have not got the OWP yet. My husbund and my daughter have already their Visas. What should I do? I am really worried about that.

When did you enter Canada? Apply for a visitor record to extend status.

You can stay up to 6 months so you need a visitor record to extend stay past Jan 12.

Yes you can apply for it and will give you maintained status until a decision is made on OWP or VR. What type of permit is spouse on with a job?
