Hello,
I am working on my Express Entry application through the Canadian Experience Class program for myself and my husband, and the application is due 7/29. I am the primary applicant. Just before my scheduled medical exam, I learned I am pregnant. I understand under these circumstances the medical exam x-ray is postponed until after the baby is born and application materials for the baby are submitted along with the x-ray.
My concern is: my due date is March 2020, and my Work Permit expires in May 2020. I am very worried about how close of a turnaround time that is, because it would be horrible to lose my Work Permit status, especially while out on maternity leave.
My question is: Are Work Permit extensions ever granted in this case? OR, How quickly does the PR application get turned around once we submit the final materials? There would presumably be about a month to process the materials before the Work Permit expires. Can I get any assurance that I won't lose my work status in Canada two months after having a child?
Thank you!
