Work permit for Convention Refugees

[beela81]

Hello


I am a convention refugee. When I applied for my open work permit, my status was "refugee claimant". i have not yet received my work permit but meanwhile my status has been changed to "Convention Refugee" after my hearing at IRCC.

Do I still need a work permit? If yes, do I need to inform about the change of my status? Does it affect my work permit?

Another query is: With my decision statement from IRCC, can I apply for my Social Insurance number?

Thanks for your guidance in advance.

Hello
You still need a work permit, you are not required to inform them about your status because they know. SIN can only be obtained after you'll receive the WP

How did you check your status ? Which website?
Thanks

I didn't check my status change online. Instead, my hearing date came in between and decision was given in my favor. After 3 weeks, I received the decision of hearing in black and white as well.
