Hello!

I hold a closed work permit & TRV (Indian passport) valid until Feb 2023.

I applied for a new closed work permit in May 2022 to start job with another company. Received interim authorization (PPCHANGEWORK2020) in couple of weeks.

Am I now considered to be in implied status since I applied for a new work permit? or Implied status is attained when initial work permit is expired?

This is to understand if I can travel outside of Canada & come back to continue working? or will lose work authorization if I travel outside Canada?
