You may submit an application for any of, or a combination of the following services:

• Extension of temporary resident status
• Restoration of temporary resident status (due to loss of status as a visitor, student, worker)

Restoration of status
You may be able to restore your status as a visitor, student or worker within 90 days of losing it, if you lost it because:

• you stayed in Canada longer than the period authorized for your stay (but not longer than 90 days).
• you changed employers, location of employment, or type of work (occupation or level of responsibility) before obtaining a new work permit.
• you changed the type of studies, educational institution, location of studies, or times and periods of studies without applying to change these conditions on your study permit if they were specified on your study permit.
