Hi All,
I applied for PR through the Family Class in August 2015. There's a 26 month wait period so I may not have an answer until October 2017.
I misunderstood this before, but just found out I may need another work permit. Mine expires in a couple of weeks and I had previously understood that I could keep working under "Implied Status" while I wait for my PR. But it appears this may not be the case.
My Post-Grad Work Permit is what I've been working under for nearly three years. Can I apply for an Open Work Permit to tide me until the response about my PR? Or is there another kind of bridging permit? I've seen evidence of a bridging permit on the CIC website but it seems to be only for people applying under CEC, not Family Class.
Thanks!
