BOWP rejected, can I still restore my status as a worker

[snake3276120]

Hi,

My BOWP is rejected because when I applied for it, I don't have OINP or ITA.

My confirmation after ITA (the letter I got from CIC after submitting my application) was arrived at the case processing center on Oct 11, and I got the rejection email on Oct 12.

The reason why I post it here is because I am in the EE pool and I was invited.

Here are some text quoted from that PDF file (BOWP refusal):

This letter refers to your application for a Bridging Open Work Permit.

Based on your application and accompanying documentation that you have provided, I have

carefully considered all information and I am not satisfied that you meet the requirements of the

Immigration and Refugee Protection Act and Regulations. Your application as requested is

therefore refused.

To be considered for a Bridging Open Work Permit (WP) you must be currently in Canada and

submit proof that you have sent an application for Permanent Residence (PR) as the principal

applicant under one of the following programs:

 Provincial Nominee Class (PNC )

 Caring for Children Class / Caring for People with High Medical Needs Class

 Federal Skilled Worker Class (FSWC)

 Canadian Experience Class (CEC)

 Federal Skilled Trades Class (FSTC)

You have failed to meet the eligibility requirements for a Bridging Open Work Permit because

you have not provided a Provincial Nominee Certificate. For further details on eligibility

requirements please see our website at

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/work/permit/extend/permanent.asp.

PLEASE NOTE: Your temporary resident status expired October 12, 2016. You no longer meet

the eligibility requirements for a Bridging Open Work Permit under Section 205(a) of the

Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations. Prior to resubmitting your application please

visit the Citizenship and Immigration Website http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/work/apply-who.asp

to determine the requirements for a work permit.

You may apply for restoration if, within 90 days from the expiry of your temporary resident

status indicated above, you submit:

 a completed application form;

 applicable fees for restoration and for the immigration document(s). Payments should

be made online at www.cic.gc.ca.

 all required documents in support of your application.

Please consult the section “Restoration of status” in the application guide: “Applying to

change conditions or extend your stay in Canada”. Restoration applies to each member

who has lost his or her status. Please note that there is no guarantee your application will be

accepted.

Should you choose not to apply for restoration of your status, you will remain a person

without legal Temporary Resident Status and as such will be required to leave Canada

immediately. If you do not leave Canada voluntarily, enforcement action may be taken

against you.

Now, is it possible for me to restore my status as a worker? I have both Ontario Nomination certificate and the confirmation of my PR application submission (IMM5794_1-xxxxxxxx).

If I can only restore my status as a visitor, is it possible for me to get another work permit, or I have to wait til my landing paper?

Does this count as an rejection of visa, shall I notify CIC regarding my EE application?

Thanks in advance, all helps are appreciated.

Is your work visa still active? If so, yes you can reapply for a BOWP. If it is not, then no, you are out of status need to stop working and apply to restore your status to visitor.
I'm not sure if you can use your OINP to get a work permit, I don't think so but I'm not sure.

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately my work permit expired June 27, so I am in that 90 days to restoration right now. I also have the confirmation after submitting the PR application, is that good enough for a new work permit?

Sorry to hear about the refusal. Atleast it wasn't a rejection, which is what we were initially scared about. When exactly did you submit your BOWP application? Trying to get a sense of how long it took them to process the application.

Arrived at June 27, exactly the same day my PGWP expired. So do I have to notify CIC?

you should, call asap.

 

[FBack54]

Why? What is the point of telling CIC that your BOWP application was refused? They are the ones that refused your application. It's not like you lied on your initial application.

 

[snake3276120]

I will call CIC to inquire what I should do, but I am not expecting them to tell me any useful stuff. Last time I called them, they ask me to contact I lawyer... no comment...

Anyway I think I have to let them know that I had to stop working today

No, you can't apply for a work permit if yours is not active. You'll have to restore to visitor status & wait for PR before you can go back to work.

Sorry to hear about this. My application got refused too. But they did not even mention I applied BOWP. The reason they refuse me is that I don't have LMIA. But for BOWP we don't need LMIA. which form you used to apply BOWP if you don't mind I ask?
