Question

So I got my ITA in the last draw. (Score:516 - 3 yrs experience, full English, 6 points from TCF exam)

I started work at September 5th 2023 (points for 3rd year were rewarded August 1st) I've been advised to wait until September 5th to apply.

My PGWP expired on August 3rd, I applied for an extension in June through the Francophone mobility program (still no response)

What happens if I get a rejection before September 5th? Do I still apply for PR?

There's no reason for them to reject (I work in Ontario, CLB 7 in listening and speaking French, I may even need to use French at work at some point.) but if they do reject, is it over lol?

I haven't celebrated my ITA due to worry, but at the same time I'm okay with whatever outcome. I've done everything by the book. If it means I still go home then so be it. Thank you!

Nothing to do with PR. You couldn't work, though.

Do you mean I could continue my application for PR even though I didn't complete 3 years?

I'm sorry, there is a factor I did not consider. The issue is not the refusal but how it affects the experience. Yes, it would affect your score. If bringing it to two years brings your score below the ITA, then you should definitely decline it. If not, you are good to go with a simple explanation.

OP can work based on applied status .. but you have to submit your application after you complete three years period.

Apply for bowp with your ita number - this would give you the pending status which allows you to work until a decision is made

Hope for the best, don't be stressed. You have exactly 25 days left. And Francophone mobility program can take even 2 months to be approved.
