AOR 16th May

Closed WP expiring on 14th Dec, my current job is over so no plan for WP extension.

Already applied for Open WP based on PR application. Hope I can stay in Canada after 14th Dec, since waiting for BOWP/PR decision

Anyone/@legalfalcon could please confirm this.

Thanks!

A temporary resident must apply to extend their period of authorized stay before it ends. If they have done so, their period of authorized stay as a temporary resident is extended by law until a decision is made [R183(5)]. Such a person is considered to have implied status as a temporary resident during that period.

If a temporary resident applies for renewal of their work or study permit and their permit expires before a decision is made, paragraph 186(u) and section 189 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (IRPR) (the right to continue working or studying under the same conditions pending a determination of their application for renewal) apply only as long as the person remains in Canada.

Thank you!

I want to clarify one point here, since I am not extending closed WP but applied BOWP, so the work conditions will be different. So in that case also it will be considered as implied status and I can stay in Canada (obviously can not work)?

BOWP has no conditions on your work, as in it is not employer driven or dependent on LMIA. So you Wille be considered as being on implied status.

We are processing your application. We will send you a message when there is an update or if
we need more information from you.

and whether the application is completed.

I am worried as still Review of Eligibility is in progress since it has been long. Should I be worried?
Anyone have any idea?

CEC Inland, CPC - Ottawa
AOR - 21 May
Medical Passed - 10 July
Bio Collection - 19 Oct

Called IRCC, 3 weeks ago and they said Security and Criminality have not started but eligibility is a pass.

Called today again and they said Security has also passed, now criminality is pending.

Not sure if I should be happy that there was progress in terms of security or should be concerned that Criminality is still pending so close to 100% completion date.

Anyone has any idea about how much time Criminality check may take?

My AOR is April 02 under PNP. My WP will expire in late Feb 2021 which I have less than 4 months now. I haven't applied for BOWP yet by hoping the final decision is made soon.
I have a similar question. With the BOWP, can I leave my current job or work for another company while waiting for the PR approval? It seems it is already answered, but hard to decipher. I am asking because I want to leave my job now if I can.

Kinda on the same boat.
My criminality has been in progress for a month, and my VO is Ottawa

What the meaning of biometric pending by agent? So they haven't started to work on criminality or it's in progress?

Not sure, I asked about my background check and she said that she couldn't see all the details but that I didn't have anything to be worry about as I was eligible and they were just waiting for my biometrics to show up on their system

Did you get any update when they started/passed security? I think you should be happy about the passed security. Any progress in the application is a good news. I hope you'll get the CoPR soon!

Exactly, I am not sure about that.. It does show completed on Oct 9th on my account

I told the agent that I did it back in October and that's when she told me that they do not have it in their system yet
