What happens in case the primary applicant does not have a visitor record or legal status in Canada, but they were here on Visitor Visa, unfortunately due to COVID our outlant plan changed to Inland. We missed the submission by 2 days of 180 days of visa expiry. I called several times over the last 3 months and I've received varied responses from IRCC call centre, some responses multiple times, see below for varied responses.

1) I need to apply for status
2) It's ok, the Mississauga office will take $200 from my OWP fees to cover the visitor record update and ask to pay the balance
3) Mississauga office will not provide OWP, because of status, and will move to producing AOR1 and once they process the Spousal Sponsorship, they'll issue permit by that time.
4) It's ok even it is expired, the applicant won't be sent or ordered to go back under the current situation, just stay and they will proceed with processing of sponsorship as required.

don't worry it's going to take about 5-6 months to process the application for the visitor status extension, i've also applied on June 24,2020 and got my visitor record recently. as long as as you update your address it should be fine.

Hi guys,
I have a question about my common law application. My application was sent in mid September 2020 and hasn’t been processed yet. Yesterday my partner(the sponsor) just learned that his employer declared bankruptcy...I’m just worried if this will affect my application since one of the documents we sent in has the proof of employment (the letter from his employer stating he’s been working there and how much he earns)...has anyone encountered the similar situation? I don’t know what to do since my application hasn’t even been processed yet but the thing is my visitor visa expired few months ago I don’t really have any legal document allowing me to stay in Canada legally(as I thought the implied status while I wait for my common law application to be approved). I’m just worried if I would be asked to leave the country once they request my partner (sponsor) to provide a new proof of employment document...

Hi all, didn't see a thread for inland yet so wanted to start one. My application was received in Mississauga today!

Here is the spreadsheet.
Hi JuniWolf,


Can I have a question regarding Open work permit application? I believe we are in the same situation as you. For form IMM 5710, how did you answer this question below? did you just put N/A ( not applicable)? My spouse is also an American citizen, therefore she does not have a US PR Card.

US PR Card
Are you a lawful permanent resident of the United States with a valid alien registration ( green card) ? No or Yes - Did you leave this section blank or mark N/A?

Thank you for your help,

Javis

For the automated message when you call and inquire about the status does it say anything different than when your application was received? I'm talking about before you connect with an agent.

Thanks
