Expired work permit? Don't stop working. Applied for an extension on time? Maintained Status may keep you legally working while IRCC processes your application. 📞 1 604-593-514 #CanadaImmigration #WorkPermit #MaintainedStatus #AcmeVisaSolutions

Q: If a foreign national’s extension and work permit application is re-opened (for example, after judicial review), but a visitor record was issued through a restoration application in the meantime, can the person remain in Canada beyond the visitor record’s expiry? Does the re-opening of the original application effectively override the restoration outcome? A: Yes. Once the original extension/work permit application is re-opened and no final decision exists, the person again benefits from maintained status under R183(5) until a new decision is made. The expiry of the visitor record issued through restoration does not affect this maintained status. IRCC no longer uses the term “implied status” and confirms this status is real, legal, and effective by operation of law. #IRCC #MaintainedStatus #CanadianImmigration #ImmigrationLaw

If a foreign national applies to extend their stay as a visitor under R181 before their work permit expires, their authorized stay in Canada continues by operation of law under R183(5) until a decision is made. However, once the work permit expires, they are no longer authorized to work, even though they may legally remain in Canada while awaiting the visitor decision. #TemporaryStatus #MaintainedStatus #IRPR #CanadianImmigration

🛑 Once your visitor record is approved, your status switches to visitor — even if your work permit is still pending, you must stop working immediately. 📌 Continuing to work = ❌ non-compliance with IRPA (Immigration Act). 🚫 May lead to inadmissibility under A41. #CdnImm #IRCC #MaintainedStatus #ImmigrationUpdate #ImmigrationCanada #CanadaVisa #CanadaPR #CanadaWorkPermit #CanadaStudyPermit #WorkInCanada #IRPA #Ontario #Toronto #OINP #ImmigrationNews

@CitImmCanada @SeanFraserMP It would be wonderful if Spouses or Common-Law Partners who are being sponsored for #PR and will as of Sept 23 HAVE to submit their apps online could INCLUDE their #SCLPC #OpenWorkPermit application with the PR application to get #MaintainedStatus

All temporary #residents are required to leave #Canada after their #workpermit expires. However, #maintainedstatus allows temporary residents to retain their legal status while waiting for #ICCRC to process their #visaapplication to extend their temporary stay.

#cdnimm #BC #MaintainedStatus #Coverage Effective May 1, 2022 while waiting for a WP/SP may be eligible for an initial 6mths to temp coverage. Remain in BC&previously enrolled w/ MSP&demo hold maintained status&requested 4wks after the exp of original permit, need to provide doc.

Applicants should also be permitted to include a #SCLPC #OpenWorkPermit application with their #SpousalSponsorship application for #MaintainedStatus and to get their #WorkPermit into process faster #cndimm
