Hi all,
I hope this message finds you safe and well during this trying time. I have encountered some confusions while trying to extend my visitor record.
Currently, our PR application is waiting for final approval. My spouse is the primary applicant and all stages passed on 1st Mar, 2021, the biometrics fee has been refunded too on 12th Mar, 2021, but no sign of approval and COPR yet. I entered the country on the 1st October 2020 with a TRV and an authorization letter, the border officer gave me a stamp until 31st March, 2021. My spouse has been working on a closed work permit valid until 31st Mar 2021 too. We will be applying for visitor record and BOWP separately in our own IRCC accounts.
So here are the confusions.
1. How to answer "are you accompanying a family member who has status in Canada?" as the description said "
Accompanying a family member means you will be staying with a family member who is already in Canada as a visitor, worker or student.
Accompanying family member: A spouse, common-law partner, dependent child or grandchild of someone who is still dependent on their parent, who plans to immigrate to Canada with the principal applicant. Accompanying family members are included on the application".
The first sentence indicates that I should answer "yes" as I am staying with my spouse currently whereas the last sentence indicates I should answer yes when applying together, but he will not include me in his application? so I am really confused.
2. I tried yes in the questionnaire, the list of required documents included "Family Member Proof of Status (required)", but his current WP will expire on 31st of March, so do I attach the current WP if I apply soon or do I wait and attach the acknowledgment of receipt for his BOWP after he applies?
Thank you so much for your help. Have a good day.
