Thanks so much for your kind help! It is real urgent!

My friend's work permit will be expired soon at April 1st.

She has submitted the PNP. Yet because of the expiration of work permit, is the PNP submission still valid?

How can she stay longer in Canada during this Coronavirus pandemic and wait for her PNP finalization?

Is it possible for her to restore her status and wait for her PNP finalization during the extension period?

Thanks so much!

What do you mean by "has submitted the PNP"?

She has applied for the permanent resident. Thanks Pls advise!

PNP is indicating Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)
I know what PNP stands for. You haven't provided enough information. Does she already have the nomination from the province? Is she still waiting for the nomirnation?

I think She hasn't got the nomination.

She is Chinese instead of American with work permit.

I am sorry for publishing at a wrong section.

If she wants to stay in Canada beyond the expiry of her work permit, she will need to apply to convert her status to visitor before her work permit expires. She will need to stop working as soon as the work permit expires.

After converting her status, is it ok for her to wait for the PNP finalization in Canada during this period ?
I mean getting the premanant residence card.

Thanks so much!!!!!!!!!!

Probably how long can she get for an visitor extension? 6 month?

And generally how long for the PNP application before getting the premanant residence card.

By the way you don't recommend to restore her status after expiration, do you?

I truly appreciate from the bottom of my heart!!!

Visitor extensions are generally 6 months. She will then have to apply for another.

PNP applications can take up to a few years to process.

She shoudl avoid falling out of status and having to apply to restore her status.

That means after this 6 month, she must leave Canada for applying another visitor visa or work permit. Is it right?

I just checked the website:

Can I stay in Canada as a tourist after my work permit expires? You need to apply at least 30 days before your work permit expires. There is no guarantee your application will be approved.

it only has half a month. Can she apply to convert the status? or Can she apply to BOWP?

In addition, will her PNP submission be cancelled after her work permit expires at April 1st 2020? Because I heard the PNP is based on the work permit. If the work permit expires, the PNP submission would be invalid.

She should apply at the very end of her work permit. She must change to visitor status online before her work permit ends and then stops working. She may get refused an extension at a certain point and will need to purchase emergency health insurance. She still has to get nominated for PNP and be approved for PR. Did she apply for PNP with a job?
