OINP: PGWP is going to expire soon!

[Fate69]

Hello guys, I sent my application to OINP on March 7 and they received it on March 9.

My PGWP is going to expire in the middle of June, so what should I do if I don't receive the nomination in time? Can I apply for the Visitor Visa and update my status to them?

I am an inland CEC, so I hope they can process the case a little faster.

Sorry to say this but I read somewhere that you need to be in a valid status while your application in under process. It was a reply from OntarioNominee to someone's question to them.

Hey Fate69, you may consider apply for Bridging open work permits http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/temp/work/prov/bridging.asp

Good luck with your ONIP and PR application

I thought we need AOR from EE in order to apply for Bridging Open Work Permit....

Is there anyway we can update our status to them? I know we can update our address change to them, but status?

Hi,

I would like to know where I should look for the thread that you said applicants need to be in a valid status.

Thank you.

AFAIK you're not allowed to apply for bridging when on PGWP, only if on regular work permits.

I was wrong: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=676&top=29
I'm pretty sure I read that somewhere, though...but since CIC says otherwise, it's probably false information

PGWP can only be bridged if you have an application for PR in process or you have been nominated by a province.

I'm sorry but OINP "might" not even send you an AOR by that time (as per recent AOR timeline). They are not sending more PTs so I hope they pick up pace to process files faster.

Good luck

Well, from I read from other thread, they are still sending PT. It's just not that frequently as last year.

Thanks. If I got an AOR before my expiration date, can I apply for Bridge Work Permit before getting nominated or invitation from EE?

Unfortunately not. You need either nomination or eAPR for PR application. AOR from OINP would not work.
