Hi, here's my situation.

I was OOS last Aug. 20th, my owp extension was refused based on the policy changes on sowp policy last January 21st. Now, appyling for restoration of status. Is is possible that I cam restore my status as a worker given the proof that we applied for PR, but we haven't received AOR yet. What is the rate of approval in this case? I appreciate your insight. As per our consultant's advise, this is the best option since we have submitted our PR application and my husband has had his permit renewed for the next two years

Are you the principal applicant? If not is your spouse in an eligible NOC/TEER.
 
NOC 6322 TEER 3 with LMIA. Do you think IRCC will disregard whether we already applied for PR? I have 85 days or less to restore my status.

For spouse to be eligible then need to have an eligible NOC even with PR application. NOCs are 5 digits so look it up. Also need AOR.
 
what is the best option? Our consultant advised the trv as worker. But the first option was visitor record.
TRV as a worker makes no sense because that is a visitor visa and a worker. You can apply for SOWP and restore status to worker with proof your spouse is in an eligible NOC. You cannot work
 
Yes, I stopped working as soon as I got the SOWP refusal. Our only option is visitor record?. If in case we get approved as PR, can I reapply for SOWP then?
