Work permit expired and waiting for LMIA WP approval

[revanthkrr]

Hello ,
My work permit got expired on dec 16,2024
I applied for extension on dec 14th So that i can legally work in canada in applied status

My company has applied LMIA and got approved later a work permit was applied by my company on jan 16 So now i have 2 applications
My initial application which i applied for extension got rejected today
So i want to know Can i work legally in canada now as my LMIA workpermit is still in applied status ?

You are in Canada without status and must stop working immediately. You need to apply to restore your status.

But my LMIA application has already been submitted to the IRCC. My PGWP status has no impact on My ability to work in Canada right ?

The extension submitted in Dec is what gave you implied status. Since that was refused, you are now out of status and have to stop working and apply to restore your status.

I don't understand what you mean by "my PGWP status has no impact on my ability to work in Canada".

I was just saying , my lmia got approved and they have applied for work permit right , so i will be in applied status that’s what i believed

That doesn’t give you implied status.

This doesn't give you implied status. Your understanding of the rules is incorrect. You lost implied status when your extension was refused. Again, you are out of status in Canada.
