Hi Seniors,

I have already submited my PR application (AOR 21 April 2017) and waiting for Medical to pass. I am expecting my PR to be approved earliest by September. In the mean time my employer wants me to apply for work permit and go to Canada for an assignment.

If I apply WP now, would it impact my PR application? Or, would the WP be rejected?

Do i have to inform my employer that I havr applied for PR? Is there any guidelines over the type of WP (open WP vs Closed WP) one should apply in this situation?

Any suggestions in this regard would be much appreciated.
