Hello,

My husband has a post graduation work permit.
I am in Canada with visitor visa expiring in 4 months.

Here are my questions.
I will apply for a spouse open work visa before my visitor visa expires.
What happens after my visitor visa expires and i still don't hear from open work visa?
Can I stay in Canada which is implied status? Or, should i extend visitor visa explaining I need to stay in Canada to get open work visa?

I've searched the forum and CIC website but still not sure when Implied status works fine.
Please, anyone who knows about it help me.

Thanks.
J.

Hi J, I am in the same situation right now and don't know where to look for answers :(

Did you end up applying for a spousal open work permit? Did you maintain implied visitor status? How did it go for you?

Thanks!
