Open work permit on TRV while waiting for PR in Canada

[angelatungsten]

Hello everyone,

I am currently in Canada on a multiple entry visitor visa that has been stamped till 2027. Am I eligible to apply for an open work permit since I am already in Canada on a Temporary Resident Visa? While i wait for my PR which I applied for after I landed in Canada.

Any advise and help is greatly appreciated as my initial plan was to obtain a study permit but due to a family emergency I no longer have adequate funds for this. I have limited options and don't actually know how to survive after three months if I don't find a way.

Thank you very much for your advice and help

IRCC mentions that I might be eligible on their website if I have already applied for PR from within Canada and have a Temporary Resident Permit (I have already applied for my PR)

A TRV does not entitle you to apply for an open work permit. So the answer to your question is no.

How have you applied for PR?

based on the information you provided, no, you are not eligible for an open work permit.a TRV alone is not the ground for any permit.

some category of PR application will make you eligible for an open work permit, we can not suggest anything until we got more information.

How have you applied for PR?

Yes, I have already applied for PR. and the Website says i am eligible that's where my confusions stems from :

Under the subheading application from inside Canada

This rule applies to TRP visas only. You have a TRV. Again, you don't qualify for an open work permit. There is no confusion. The rules are very clear.

Thank you for your answer. I was under the impression that the TRV is the same as TR-Permit. However, can i still try under point 5 :"you’re waiting on a decision on an application for permanent residence from inside Canada" since i applied for my PR after I landed in Canada and is awaiting a verdict. Thank you again, also sorry if my questions seem redundant and repetitive.

A TRV and TRP are two completely different visas.

No - you do not qualify under point 5. This only applies to individuals who have applied for PR inland through spousal sponsorship. In order for an Express Entry applicant to qualify for a bridging open work permit, you must already be holding a valid work permit.

Again, you don't meet any of the requirements for an open work permit. There is nothing for you to 'try'. If you apply for an open work permit, you will be refused.
