Messed up bad, please help.

Hi Everybody,

My work permit expired on this Nov 19th. My employer submitted an LMIA application in late September. I was under the expression that I was on implied status just because of the LMIA application but I found out otherwise just before my WP expired that I needed to apply for a WP extension.

So, I did everything by myself and applied on November 19 4:00 p.m. UTC. I received email for the letter of implied status.

BUT, this letter is referencing a totally different WP number to mine. Upon some inquiry I figured out that I entered different Given and Last name associated with my file. I entered them separately but my passport and other documents have my entire name as the last name. Which I think triggered the new UCI/WP number.

My question is how do I go about rectifying this situation?

Can it be fixed without me losing implied status and just waiting for positive LMIA which will probably take another 5-6 months.

My employer will definitely not be happy with this as I will have to stop working immediately and I'm not sure I can manage this long without earning.

I'm also thinking about applying for francophone mobility program ( hopefully my boss agrees to help me with this, I guess he has not other option, lol).

So my question is that is it possible to have two applications for work permits simultaneously?
