1. I submitted my Non-EE (International Student Stream) PR application on July 23rd, 2024.
2. My Nomination and WP Extension letter (Employer Specific) are valid till November 2024.
3. My and my wife's current Work Permits are valid till Aug 2025.
QUESTIONS
1. Should I apply for Work Permit Extension as my current expires in Aug 2025? If Yes, When? In November or Before that?
2. Is it possible to process my PR application before Aug 2024?
Not true at all . They will simply reject your application without AOR and you will fall under out of status. Never do this mistake. Simply apply for closed work permit. Work permit application and Offices working on R10 completeness checks are different offices so this can’t be true what you heard.
I recently lost my status in Canada after my work permit extension application was refused. I had been on an open work permit as the spouse of someone on a PGWP, but my extension was denied because I forgot to attach my work permit support letter. Additionally, the refusal was based on insufficient proof that my spouse had skilled employment at the time. Had I submitted the letter, my application likely would have been approved.
Currently, I have three applications in my account:
PR application under the OINP Employer Job Offer Stream, which is in progress .
Restoration of status application, which I submitted on September 17 (today).
Refused work permit extension application, due to the missing support letter and insufficient proof of my spouse’s skilled employment. Received on September 17 (today).
Timeline:
Application Received (AR): April 20
AOR + ADR + BIL: August 14
ADR Sent: August 14
BIL Done: August 16
BIL Approved: August 19
Pre-Arrival Letter (PAL): August 23
Medical Request: August 28
Medical Exam Done: September 4
Medical Approved: September 13
FD: Next status I think...
I’ve acted quickly to restore my status, but I am now out of status and cannot work while my restoration is in progress. I’m concerned about whether this loss of status will impact my PR application, and I would appreciate any insights on what to expect next.
I ordered GCMS and CBSA notes and received them today, on first page it says me and my husband:

So it looks like the only pending thing is security and under my spouse Security Screening section it shows:

SECURITY is in progress since June 20 and no update yet!

Does this mean it will likely get delayed and can we do anything to get result faster ?
Also, received by CBSA , it means CSIS section is done or not ?

Absolutely. Officer working on your application has submitted security request to third parties to perform security checks. Looks like it’s normal security check. Security check is not done by IRCC . It is internally done by third party.
I applied to IRCC on the 22nd of April and I'm still waiting for AOR. It's almost impossible reaching them on phone too. Is there anyone in the same situation who applied around the same time?

I applied on May 17th and received the AOR and biometrics payment request yesterday (Sep 17th), exactly 4 months later.
I already provided biometrics in 2022 for study permit from India, which is valid for 10 years. Do I need to give biometrics again? Has anyone been in a similar situation?
