Hi! Has anyone else restored their status recently? Is the processing time for restoration the same as for a work permit within Canada?

Hi Kat,good luck to you. This the most stressful thing I’ve ever experienced in my life,feels like they ‘re punishing us. Tell you not to work and that you must sit and wait for months while we decide if to refuse you or not. How do you survive? I missed the extension deadline application submission by an hour and now my whole life is in shambles . and found out my girlfriend is pregnant and I have to move but unable to work. It’s crazy

They made this process extremely hard. I’ve only just submitted on the 23rd of April and already losing my mind. I hope you get yours soon, do keep us updated. It’s sad these groups are the only slight glimmer of hope or encouragement for ppl like us.

Best of luck, I hope an easy resolution finds you. They refused my initial WP application because I didn't submit a document to them, but they never requested that document in my application process. I've been waiting for 95 days now since my restoration application was submitted, hoping for good news soon.

Best of luck. When did you apply for your restoration? Do you remember the processing time for the work permit at the time of your application?

Good luck, I hope things start to pick up speed wise, I cant express enough just how frustrating IRCC as an organization.

Where did you get the processing time from your application from?

Hi, the application was in September and yes the letter received was in November. He was out of status for 2 months prior to the application in September. It was a visitor's visa.
