PGWP expiring with LMIA and OINP applications under process

[yash691]

With my pgwp expiring soon (in a couple of weeks), I'm trying to go for wp extension (explaining how my LMIA high wage is under process) just to buy time, and then once LMIA is approved, I was thinking of converting the application to Closed WP through a webform. Is that a viable option?
Also, I need to apply for my spouse and kid. At what stage is it ideal to apply for them??

No, it's not possible to convert an application via web form. You would need to submit a new application.

Thanks for your response. My lmia just got refused.
Is it possible to apply for wp extension just to buy time and then when I get my PNP nomination, apply for non express PR and then BOWP (without AoR)? I've heard some people getting BOWP just with the initial application receipt email and without the actual AOR. Thoughts?

No you cannot do a fake extension application. You can apply for visitor record if your permit hasn’t expired yet. Once you get nomination if it isn’t employer specific and you have less than 2 weeks of work permit expire then you don’t need to wait for AOR after PR you can just apply for the permit. If your nomination has employer restrictions then you need to apply for employer specific permit.
