Working holiday visa to Study permit

Hi!

I only have a couple days left on my current visa - working holiday visa.
I applied for Study permit and my common law partner applied for Open Work permit.

As our current visas expire very soon, do we have to apply for a visitor status in the meantime? Or because we have applied for study permit and open work permit, are we on implied status and can just wait for our new visas to come?

Any help will be much appreciated. Thank you,
DE

You can wait. You can live in Canada until result will be declared. There is a rule in Canada that if your file is in process and your current valid visa/study permit/ work permit expired you can live in Canada untill decision will be made.

You don't qualify. Ghana is not on the list of countries that qualifies.
