Hi all, need the input from very experienced people on this forum. I came to canada on Visitor visa on Feb 26th. My husband hold’s work permit with Tier 2 job offer. We applied for my work permit as spousal dependant. Recently we received rejection letter because we did not attach my husband’s job offer with application. In rejection letter, it also stats that my Temporary Resident Status has been expired on 10 july, it is same day we received rejection letter. Please see text below from letter. My 6 month period on temporary resident status is not over yet. I would like to understand my possible scenario's. Thanks in advance.
- can we send Job offer letter via web form and request officer to reconsider decision It was an honest mistake of not attaching job offer letter with application as it did not requested in application while applying.
- can we reapply for Work Permit application or we have to first apply for restoration of status and then apply for work permit ??

You have not provided sufficient evidence to prove that your spouse is employed in a high- skilled occupation (TEER 0, 1,2 or 3) or a low-skilled occupation (TEER 4 or 5).
You may be eligible to re-apply for a work permit if you are able to provide proof that your spouse is a skilled worker in Canada, which may include a letter from your spouse’s employer, stating his/her job title, duties, and salary. If you cannot prove that your spouse is in a skilled occupation, your application for a work permit cannot be approved without a Labour Market Impact Assessment from Employment and Social Development Canada.

You may apply for restoration if, within 90 days from the expiry of your temporary resident status, you submit:
a completed application form;
