Dear friends,

I arrived canada feb 2 , 2018
Kiosk entry valid 6 months visa will expired August
We submit our PR+ WP June2
AOR received July 9 ,2018
Work permit returned August REASON insufficient fund i pay only $155 -- added $100
Received WP - AOR sept 25
Now got a letter from them

This letter refers to your application for an Open Work Permit.
Qualifying foreign nationals who have submitted an application for permanent residence under the spouse or common-law partner in Canada (SCLPC) class may be issued an open work permit if they meet eligibility requirements.
As a Foreign National in Canada who currently does not have valid temporary resident status, you are not eligible to apply for an open work permit until such time as you receive confirmation that your application for Permanent Residence will be processed from within Canada. Your application for an open work permit will be considered at the same time as your application for permanent residence and if the latter is accepted, the open work permit will be issued to you.

Any idea about this?

When your OWP app was returned, you were out of status. There is nothing you can do at this point to fix that.

It won't affect the PR app.
