Do I still have implied status after receiving CoPR?

[superrowen]

Hi all,

I just received my CoPR and my current work permit expires in 2 weeks.

Before receiving the CoPR I had applied for BOWP. This was good for implied status while waiting for a PR decision.

I was hoping to have the BOWP before CoPR as I travel back home to Ireland in 4 weeks (after the current work permit expires).

Preferably I would just activate my PR in 4 weeks but I am not sure if I am covered under implied status to stay in Canada till then. This would be the ideal situation as I wouldn't have to flagpole and furthermore, I wouldn't have to worry about traveling to Ireland without my PR card.

Guess it depends if COPR is considered a PR decision or if a decision is only made once you speak to an immigration officer and activate the COPR. ...it's pretty confusing!

Cheers for any help,

Rowen

Hi

Receiving the COPR doesn't do anything to your status.

adjustment of status occurs when you complete landing (sign copr in front of cbsa agent at border at a inland office)|

Your status and COPR are two diffrent things. Your PR would not be activated until you complete your landing and for landing you need a valid status in Canada.
If you have already applied for BOWP, you are on impkied status right now and while landing you have to keep Confirmation email for BOWP and payment receipt with you in case if they ask for it and please take your expired WP with you too.

Thanks Suraj89 - This makes sense and what i was hoping for. I just couldn't find anything on the CIC website. Cheers again
