Waiting on Inland PR Application - Do I need to extend my visitor Visa?

[Mattyciv]

I am waiting on an Inland spousal PR app but am coming up on 6 months in the country. Do I need to apply for an extension on my visitor visa or does the application in process give me implied status?

Did you include a work permit in that application?

Yes I did apply for an Open Work Permit at the same time.

The you have implied status yes. It is still advised to apply for an extension though, in case your application gets returned. If you don't, and you get it back after your current status expires, you would lose implied status & you'd have to apply for restauration of status. So to avoid that you should apply for the extension just in case
