My PGWP was expiring in February 2024 so in order to maintain my legal status in canada i applied for TRV visa before my work permit expired. I got my TRV approval in January 2024. I got multiple entry visa with expiry date on TRV sticker january 2031. I was living inside the canada all this time and assumed from TRV expiry that i don't have to renew my visitor visa every six month.

After that, i applied for family sponsorship PR application (inside canada) on October 13 2024. Sponsor got an AOR last week. I want to apply for open work permit so i got in touch with one immigration lawyer and she is saying that your TRV expired the day your work permit got expired and i applied for the wrong kind of visa and so i don't have any legal status in canada now. Please someone clear the confusion and help me what to do next and how will this thing affect my PR application in future
