Hello friends,
we are sponsoring my stepson who just turned 21. We came to Canada in 2014 and he was included in our PR application, he got his UCI # and did medical but as a minor did not come to Canada since he lived with his mother in Europe.
In 2022 he applied for a Work and Travel visa and received it with a work permit valid until Feb 2024. He arrived in Sept 2022 and has been working since. He decided that he wanted to stay so we just sponsored his PR application and submitted it in Jan 2024. He has gotten an email confirming the receipt of his application but no further info. We cannot check the status of the application online since he has not received an AOR yet so apart from USI he has no application number.
A few questions:
1. His work permit expires on Feb 5, 2024, does he need to extend it to be able to work? On the IRCC website, it says that the work permit remains valid for the duration of the application being processed. Does he need to apply for an official extension? Has anyone done it?
2. How long before we will be able to check the status of his application if the AOR may take months to be sent.
Thank you
