No he won't. And there's no restoration to apply for. He has valid visitor status.
Thank you!! could you suggest me in IMM5710e where should I tick on POINT 3
I am applying for one or more of the following:
* Restore my status as a worker
* Apply for a work permit with the same employer * Apply for a work permit for the first time or with a new employer
* Get a new temporary resident permit (for inadmissible applicants only)

Thanks

my visitor visa is valid until 2028
The validity of your visitor visa is NOT the length of time you are permitted to stay in Canada as a visitor.
Did you apply to change your status from worker to visitor BEFORE your work permit expired. If not, you are now out of status.

I left Canada in Sep that time I have valid work permit and visitor visa as well, both expired in November. I got new visitor visa and came back Canada in December.

Ok then you are fine. By default, you can stay for six months in Canada. If you wish to remain here longer, you need to apply to extend your stay before the end of the six months.
However you will not be able to apply for BOWP
