Hi all,
I came into Canada on a visit Visa on April 28th 2019, my husband is here in a work permit. In June13 I put in an application for a work permit and the process time was 8 weeks so we expected that we would have gotten a reply latest August 13th. But we didn't hear anything, till now we still haven't heard anything and it's the 19th September. My status here expires on the 28th of October. We are thinking of applying for a visitor record extension before it reaches just so I don't lose status while waiting for the work permit.
Please advice me.

You will have Implied Status while waiting for the decision on the OWP.
You would only end up out of status if the OWP is refused after Oct 28th.
