Hi,
I'm in the same situation.
I received PNP from Ontario in April 2018 and applied for PR in June. My PGWP is expiring on February 2020 - next month. In October 2019, I applied for a work permit based on my PNP work support letter (which is restricted to my current employer) and my work permit application was refused 3 days ago on the basis that I failed to include an offer of employment number (for LMIA exempt applicants).
I'm feeling so anxious and seriously stressed. I've been here 7 years now and I feel like everything is going down the drain.
What will happen to my PR application after my work permit expires and I'm forced to stop working? I've asked my employer to register in the employer portal so I can get the offer of employment number and reapply for another work permit but their registration hasn't been approved yet so I don't know how long this is going to take.
What are my options?? If my permit expires I have to stop working, do I then inform the province of this? Do I tell IRCC? Will they cancel my PR application? And most importantly, how can I retain my status?
I'm hoping that my employer can get approval soon and I will apply for another permit and continue working until the application has been processed but if it is rejected again what should I do?
Please advise, thanks
