Currently I am on TN which will expire in Sept 2021. I am planning to apply for green card through the IR5 path (21 years old son, US citizen sponsor his parent) next Oct 2020.

1. If I submit the application in Oct 2020, my TN status would not be valid immediately since TN NOT allowed to have immigration intent? Or I can still work in US with TN while waiting for EAD and GC approval?
2. If for some reasons I did not get my EAD before my TN expires, does that mean I cannot renew TN since TN not allowed immigration intent?
3. How long to get EAD for IR5 processing as of now? Normally speaking. Thanks.
 
1. The application of I-130 does not cancel your TN, it simply prevents you from renewing it, or entering the country on it. So you need to follow the same rules as for employment-based immigration (see detailed post at top of forum -- with the exception that you can't re-enter after filing I-130).
2. Correct. So you make sure you renew yoy TN before embarking on I-130 path.
3. That would be a question for another forum.
