Ideally, candidates who applied for Canadian PR through Express Entry gain the eligibility for Bridging Open Work Permit that facilitates them to reside in the country while their application undergoes processing.
Immigrants applied from external to Canada may be hindered by expiring results of the language test which implies taking another test for maintaining the eligibility requirements.
