What happens if your work permit expires while you are applying for PR?

I know you don't get implied status. If you have to leave the country does your application continue to be processed?

It depends on exactly HOW you are applying for PR. In a few cases, if you leave the country, it will terminate the application, but I suspect that this may not apply to you. Details?

Hi,

Sorry for the extremely late reply! Hopefully you will still see this. My situation is as follows:

My 4 year limit is on February 2015. I'm in Montreal. As of right now I have not applied for either my CSQ or my PR because I want to first improve my French. Cutting it close, I know. I only made the decision to stay during the summer. I read on the website that you don't get implied status if your work permit expires while you are waiting for an answer, so that would mean I would have to apply for another work permit....but I'm at my four year limit
