Question about new Public policy for PGWP extention.

[Kk kabobo]

Agreed. There is no question that anyone with PGWP residing in Canada can apply for this extension under the new policy. However we are in a situation where we have our PR application in process and facing delays because of Covid 19. We were wondering whether we should apply for a BOWP or for extension under this new policy. It’s confusing lol

Yes is really confusing
My worry is that the BOWP has implied status which will allow me to work when my permit expires and the BOWP is yet to be approved.
My question is, does the new public policy have implied status?

Anyone tried to call IRCC to know if we are allowed to work once we submit the application? I tried to call but to no avail

I would say for sure this new policy. Primarily because it is mutually exclusive to PR application. For BOWP, for instance, if your PR application for some reason gets rejected, it's possible that BOWP would be too (even after the R10 completeness check pass). I too am in the same boat with my CEC application. Looking at the timelines, I am unsure if PR would be processed before the WP expires and I would opt for this new policy for OWP extension rather than BOWP.

Even this option should have implied status IMO. (not 100% sure about this though )

Also, saw this post in the cic page. Essentially this is an extension of the PGWP before your current PGWP expires right? So by that logic, it should have implied status as per this - https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=188&top=17

I think it will have implied status. Btw do you know if for this one we apply just as normal? Like through the normal immigration extend document for WP?

Imm5710?

In my understanding, it should be very similar with that extra letter stating that's its for OWP for the public policy. Rest should be standard. However, I haven't really checked the application, so I am not sure if there is anything extra . Hopefully, someone who has applied would provide some insights.

Implied status if you are on a work permit but if you are on visitor, unless they state something, I dont think we do have implied status right?

Hello all,

When i try to apply online under this new policy and put the dates of when my status has expired it is giving me the following error:
Your status in Canada expired over 90 days ago.
You cannot apply for restoration of status and are no longer allowed to stay in Canada.

Anyone has any idea? My pgwp expired in September

yes, I agree. if on WP, you continue to be that, a visitor would be visitor still? Yea, that's why it's explicitly not mentioned. But if you were on a valid PGWP before you apply, then it should be that you can continue to work on that once you apply.

So what is your status now?

 

[Ryne26]

I don’t have any status. I have applied for BOWP in December but this is a better option.

you didn’t answer what I asked for?

Hi there,

I have confused to choose questions 3 in imm5710e form which is for PGWP extension under new public policy.

My work permit will expired on March 2021 so which option should I have to select?

1) An initial work permit or a work permit with a new employer or 2) Restoration status as worker

Thanks in advance.
