If you remain legally eligible to apply and the renewal is genuinely pending, you usually do not need to wait for the final document before submitting an application.

The key is accuracy. Do not state that you have an approved permit if it is still under review, and do not guess at sponsorship requirements you have not confirmed.

If the application asks about work authorization, answer according to your current legal status and use any available explanation field to clarify the renewal where needed.

Check the immigration guidance that applies to your situation and, if the recruiting form is ambiguous, ask the recruiter how they want a pending renewal represented. Keep the application timeline separate from assumptions about the outcome.
