Hey folks
I was nominated thru the BC PNP tech pilot program Oct 2018 with a closed work permit issued by my employer. I have applied for PR and am currently waiting for a response. In the meantime, my work permit is edging closer to expiry and a current chat with my employer tells me that they will not be extending my work permit. I was told I could apply for a bridging open work permit, but all of my online research states that I actually don't qualify for that because my PNP nomination was done with a closed work permit.
What are my options if I cannot get the open work permit or find a new job before I get the PR response? I should be able to stay in Canada until I hear back about PR, right? Should I apply for some sort of permit/ visitor visa before my current one expires? I've got about 2 months left on it..
Cheers
