Basically my current FSW visa (locked to one company) expires in a month and I have now left the company I was working for (and obviously this company is whom my visa was tied to). I have applied for PR and have an APR letter but currently my PR application hasn't been checked as "eligible". I am wondering if my PR application alone gives me implied status so that I can stay in Canada after my visa expires whilst I search for my next job or should I apply for a BOWP which as far as I can tell won't be processed until my PR application changes to "found eligible". I submitted my PR invitation 3 months ago and as a BOWP takes 3 months to process according to the Canada immigration website it seems silly to apply for a BOWP at this point as my PR will hopefully be approved within the next 3 months.
Thanks in advance for your help
