We are able to send off our in-land Spousal PR application and Open Work Permit application in about a week but I'm curious about implied status. My wife's student visa expires on April 30, 2017 so I'm curious as to whether implied status is given once the application is received by CIC or is it given the date the application has been post-dated by the post office is sent off? I just want to ensure she's still in the country legally after the student visa expires.
