In order to continue working, you would need to receive ITA, submit your complete application and also submit a BOWP before your PGWP expires.

Otherwise you basically have two options. One is to change your status to visitor, stop working and wait for PR to be processed. The other is to have your employer obtain an approved LMIA so that you can switch to a closed work permit.

You can apply for a BOWP once you have submitted your EE application. You need the AOR letter for this. As soon as you submit the BOWP application you will earn implied status until the BOWP is approved or your EE application is finalized.

Given that your PGWP will expire within 3 days of when you will have met the 1-year requirement you have 3 options.
  • Receive the invitation during those 3 days and apply for BOWP. If you are lucky with the dates you should be able to do it, however, that might be hard to accomplish.
  • Your WP will expire and you will have to leave the country. Once your WP expires you can apply to restore your status to visitor and stay in Canada while your EE application is being processed. However, you will not be able to work.
  • Obtain an LMIA and get a work-permit this way. Good luck convincing your employer to go this way.

Hey Bro,

That shouldn't be a problem for you. Make sure the documents are submitted only after Jan 11. Once you submit your application you will be eligible to apply for bowp four months before the work permit expiry date.
