Update on this issue which i brought here. I managed to get my work permit in 47 days. Remember i applied when the permit had expired. Permit expired Nov 30th, I applied Dec6 2023 and i got my work permit in Jan 22, 2024. I applied to restore my status as a worker. Thank you for your advise.
Would you plz tell how did you restore your status? Actually I'm in the same situation?
Do I need to apply through GC key account?
Do they give option for work permit restoration ?

Form5710e Ques no.3 I am applying for one or more of the following
1. Apply for work permit for the same employer
2. Apply for work permit for the first time or with a new employer
3.Restore my status as a worker
4.Get a new temporary resident permit

If I select option no. 3 because my work permit is already expired, it asks me to select one more option either 1 or 2. Currently I am not working. so what should i do? Can I not only select option no. 3 ?
