Application for Restoration of Status and Open Work Permit Extension Application

[deepu034]

Hello All,

I have applied for a restoration of Status and Bridge Open Work Permit Application on January 27, 2017 through Paper application as my initial application for Open Work Permit Extension was refused as I have not included the Open Work Permit Holder Fee (100$) along with my Online application.

I have received my Acknowledgement of Receipt (AOR) for my Permanent Residence Application on February 6, 2017 which I uploaded to CIC through a Case Specific Enquiry.

However, I have not received any update or communication from CIC or CPC Vegreville, Alberta about my Restoration or Work Permit status. Anyone applied for restoration and work permit during the same time period, please share any updates or timelines on this .

Restoration can take up to 4 months to process. Some people get theirs done in 1 month but it depends on the officer in charge of your file

Thanks for the reply.

How do we check the status of our application ? Will the CIC call center know about our application file ?

I am able to see only my PR application which is in process through this link when I fill out my details.

Unable to view any other restoration of status applications here.

You got your AOR for your work permit right? Should be different from your PR application

 

[deepu034]

I did not get any AOR for my Restoration of status/Work Permit extension application as I mentioned in my initial post.

Since you mailed a paper application, it will take a while for them to even open your mail. You should have done it through online.

I have seen this on CIC website. I was looking for updates from people who have gone through this Paper Application process for restoration of status and extension of work permit process before me in recent times.
