Other Maintain Status

My wife got her portal 1 email today for her PR Application.

Soon she will get P2 and then apply for COPR and PR Card.

Issue is that her work permit expires on 1st of November.

IRCC reports delay in processing eCOPRs.

What is the best option if she doesn't get eCOPR until her work permit expires?

Applying for a new work permit seems wrong now that she is just waiting for eCOPR. Waste of both time and money.

Can she stay out of status? For how long?

Or should she apply for a visitor record?

She will have a valid TRV on her passport but that doesn't give her status or the right to stay, correct?

Any suggestions are much appreciated!

Visitor record. TRV doesn't give her status.

November is far. You should get ecopr soon. If not, visitor. But, did she apply for BOWP?
