Good question. My understanding is that the new one would supersede the old one but I don't know for sure. You could try to call IRCC about it but I don't know if they are even answering phones right now.
Alternatively you could ask an immigration consultant (IRCC) or lawyer.
If you can get a job offer, your options improve considerably. (Obviously a job offer is basically impossible right now so I mean after the pandemic is more under control.)
Your other options depend upon the province. Some provinces prioritize specific types of work. The rule of thumb is...
Yes, you should apply for the open work permit as part of the inland sponsorship application.
I imagine the delays are going to be quite substantial as paper applications presumably are not be processed right now.
Let me try to answer your questions:
You can apply for an open work permit to accompany him. "Open" means you don't need a job offer.
I know they were focusing on processing already accepted work and study permits early on. No idea for ones which were submitted after the travel restrictions...
If there was no conviction you should be okay. However that answer only applies in normal times. The border is still closed. Once it is open, you should be fine to travel here.
No, it won't as long as you are still meeting the residency requirement (if you are not yet a citizen). You need to be here when you submit the application and you need to generally reside in Canada, but if you are traveling for work this should not affect the application in any way.
Hi, let me try to answer your questions:
Sorry, there are too many acronyms here. Your SIN? I don't think that needs to be updated just because you switched from worker to student. It still should be a temporary one.
You need your passport back, even once it is cancelled, if you want to travel...
Your status didn't expire unless it was revoke or you renounced it. Under normal circumstances you would have two choices:
Formally renounce your PR status and apply for a visitor visa
Travel to the United States and drive into Canada with your Record of Landing/COPR.
However, either of these...
Which RCIC said that? If you spoke to a consultant and they told you that, you should probably listen to them, rather than me, as I'm just a forum admin.
I'm sorry I can't give you a better answer. I would talk to an RCIC or a lawyer.
