Implied status after PPR

[shannon388]

Hi, I am currently on closed WP (LMIA exempt, non IEC) expiring on Dec. 31. I have applied for BOWP and PR (CEC inland), and received PPR on Dec 12. My questions:

1. I applied my BOWP on Oct. 19, but saw processing time was updated on Dec. 10 to "50 days, processing applications received on Oct. 18". They still haven't processed my app. It has been 5 days since Dec. 10, so barring an huge amount of apps on Oct. 18/19, they should have processed apps from Oct. 19 too. I am aware that processing times are only indications, but should I call them? (I am pretty sure that having received PPR, R-10 has been passed)

2. PPR to CoPR is ~1 months now (I am non eTA country citizen), so cannot land as PR before Dec 31. If BOWP still not approved by Dec 31, will I be implied status after Dec. 31, or do I need a job offer? Do I need also the employment reference number? My current contract expires on Dec. 31. I could extend my current LMIA exempt job, so shouldn't be issues here.

3. As last resort, can I still stay in Canada (waiting for BOWP, and PPR to CoPR) as visitor after Dec. 31 without employment offer?

Thank you.

Hi

1. There is no point in calling. The processing times aren't exact, so give it a few extra weeks.

2. As you have applied for a BOWP, you will have Implied Status after Dec 31st. You don't need a job offer or employment reference number.
