Depends- same employer, WP takes an average of 80 days, new employer 24 days, restoration of status, 103 days (as per cic.gc.ca).

Re: Positive LMO received,expired Work permit,under restoration process but appl

You will not be able to work until you recieve your restoration of status. If you have a positive lmo you will have you apply for a new work permit. This will come if you get your restoration of status. It takes 62 days for them to process the restoration. You also have to pay the fees for a new work permit.
