- Implied status for duration of app processing when PR + OWP app are submitted (OWP gives implied status)

- OWP is received after 3-4 months of applying

- You must cohabit with sponsor inside Canada for duration of processing. You can leave Canada for short trips but If you were denied re-entry for any reasons (at discretion of CBSA officer), the PR app would be cancelled. Risk may be low, but need to be aware of it.

- No implied status. So every 6 months you'd need to request visitor status extension, or leave/re-enter Canada

- No Open Work Permit

- You can come and go from Canada as a visitor with no risk to app
