Hey guys I just applied for PR through common law sponsorship last week along with an open work permit. My current visa/work permit just expired yesterday and I haven't heard anything back about the open work permit and still haven't got a new sin number!!Can I legally continue working??

What kind of wok permit were you on previously?

Two year IEC work permit

IEC can't be extended. This means you can legally remain in Canada as a visitor while you wait for your OWP to be approved. However you cannot work after the expiry of your IEC. You'll be able to start working again once your OWP is approved.
