Can anyone please help me, I am having a really tough time navigating the cic website and I am struggling to find threads that relate to my situation. I was approved by bc pnp and have my pr app sent away and recently it's status has changed to decision made(yesterday), problem I have is that I applied to extend my work permit online and they rejected it because I didn't send in my pnp certificate, the refusal also happened yesterday and now I am here with my work permit with 2 weeks left, how do I go about extending the thing online, the questionaire you have to fill in is rather confusing, I selected the box I have a pr app at first stage approval(is that correct, I have never seen those words in any correspondence regarding my pr app) and it is suggesting I can apply for an open work permit, is that correct, if I apply for that will I be under implied status as it won't have time to process before my current visa expires?

Thanks for any answers people can give me.

The one that was rejected I applied for on february the 16th, I did it online.

I am in canada on the work permit I got at the poe using the bc pnp certificate.

But why did they reject your work permit? Was there any job restriction your PNP? As I applied on 16th Feb and haven't got any response. And the checklist did not ask for PNP certificate.

I might have made some mistakes when using the online questionnaire maybe. They asked me for the pnp certificate, I used to have loads of copies of everything but somehow I lost that one, so I uploaded a copy of my aor and an explanation letter that I had sent in the pnp certificate with the pr app and then a couple of weeks later they rejected my aplication.

I uploaded that when they requested the pnp certificate but not originally, it wasnt part of the checklist I got for the original application, I think I made a mess of the online questionnaire

I think so you should get PPR by this Friday so don't worry to apply for the time being and you can send the application one day before your current status expire

ok thanks for the response !

But one problem I am having is finding which permit I can apply for, when I do the online questionnaire it only lets me apply for an open work permit but elsewhere on the cic site it states that if your pnp support letter has employment restrictions on it you are not eligible for the open permit. Also would implied status still take effect if I applied for the open permit? I am on a closed permit.

Yes it does . So don't worry and apply that one as you can do landing before the decision can be made

Guys,
I guess you guys ll give me some views:
My work permit was refused...based on the reason that my PNP was expired
- I am in Restoration now, i am reapplying for work permit and i guess it is OPen work permit bcz i got my EP and UCI
- For my PR i got my medical this week...
Do you guys think there ll be any problem? for my medical during this restoration phase?
I have heard wp with restoration takes longer, if i send medical as soon as do you think i can get my PR before my WP?
Thanks,
