Hi team - hoping to get some advice/direction with a situation I've found myself in!
I've recently applied for PR via the CEC route and am currently on maintained status as I wait for a decision on my BOWP. As my original work permit (now expired) was an open permit, am I able to find a new job while I'm on maintained status or do I have to wait for my BOWP to come through? I'm living in Canada but it looks likely I might have to leave my current job soon and will be in need of employment in the near future.
Thanks for your help!
