You know that you can apply for visit visa extension. Even if they give 60 days, I guess that will do the job. And Im not sure why landing is taking that much time. Isn't it virtual landing in your case?or you have to physically go to the border?

My refusal is


This letter refers to your application for a Work Permit.

Based on your application and accompanying documentation that you have provided, I have carefully considered all information and I am not satisfied that you meet the requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act and Regulations. Your application as requested is therefore refused.

To be issued an open Work Permit (WP) you must be currently in Canada and have submitted an application for Permanent Residence (PR) as the principal applicant under the spouse or common-law partner in Canada (SCLPC) class in Canada.

You have failed to meet the eligibility requirements for an SCLPC open Work Permit because your application for Permanent Residence under the spouse or common-law partner in Canada (SCLPC) class was submitted overseas. For further details on eligibility requirements please see our website at: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/temp/work/admissibility/open.asp .

[X] Your status in Canada is valid until 2023/12/28.

please guide me what should i do.
When did you come to Canada on the TRV and when did you apply for the OWP?

I am on visitor visa, visiting my husband and my status will expire next month but i am outland applicant. my file was transferred to montreal from overseas and queued for virtual landing because i email LVO after that i am inside canada now. I am going back because i am unable to extend my stay. will it effect my ecopr? I really don't know but I will not suggest everyone to do virtual landing and wait for COPR.
I applied work permit after entering canada and found that ourtand applicant can not apply for work permit. Work permit is only for inland applicant. so my work permit application was refused.

Now it's matter of time but anyway i booked my ticket two days before my status expire.
PLZ pray for me

Hi guys I received my PPR today however I am already in Canada on a visitor visa, so I will need a virtual landing. Since my visa office is London, is that where i submit my webform for address change? Does anyone have their phone number? how long does this process typically take? thanks.

how long had you been waiting for virtual landing? You couldve extended the visitor stay

UPDATE: my address got updated on the tracker to my Canadian one but still no email for virtual landing

Can you give some estimate of how many days it took from the time you informed them of change of address, to this change actually changing in your profile?
