OWP expiring in Feb 1st, still waiting for inland DM what to do?

[oceans_end]

been almost two years waiting for my inland DM, send app in March 2010, started processing in June 2010, got AIP Dec 2010. OWP is expiring Feb 1st, but I won't be working since I'm at home taking care of the newborn, do I have to extend OWP to be "in status" here? or will I be illegal once the OWP expires?

My wife is in the same position. Her OWP expires March 19th, the day her old passport expires. The fact that you have an inland application in process does not give you legal status. You need to renew your OWP before the deadline. Make certain they have it in their office before the date of expiry. You will then be on implied status, legally able to work, under the same conditions stipulated on your OWP, while they process the application.

What I am unclear about, however, is if when submitting the renewal if we somehow need to connect it with the PR application. Perhaps, an expert can tell us, otherwise we'll need to get on the phone and ask CIC. My wife wants to include a student permit application with it. Anybody have any experience with this? She will be giving birth around end of June and would simply like to take a course in September. As a new mother, I am sure that is the most she could handle. So I'm not sure if we need to prove sufficient income as one would normally for a student permit.
