Hello everyone, my husband and I submitted a sponsorship application for me to stay in Canada. After we submitted the application, I also applied for a spousal open work permit. It's been almost a year since the sponsorship application was submitted and there has been little movement. And now my work permit is about to expire. Am I able to extend the work permit the same way that I originally applied for it? Is there anything else that needs to be submitted (i.e. the acknowledgement letter like with the original application)?

Yes you can extend it. Would include the proof of sponsorship AOR.
