I just applied and i submitted the imm5710 form to restore as worker and apply for new permit. I called several agents and they said its ok to do this
Did you apply online or through paper?
I was in a similar situation and i was advised by my school advisors to apply for restoration of status as a visitor online and apply for pgwp through paper application.

its pretty much the same as normal processing time. currently on CIC it says 114 days.
Thank you so much. Please reply to this thread if you have any updates on your application. It will be much appreciated.
just one more question for you, how much fees did you pay all together?

Hi Maggie! Sorry I cut in your discussion. I want to ask you guys how you did your application? I applied for restoration/PGWP few days ago, I made the applications in one submission and wrote a letter of explanation stating why I made the restoration.

Hello I'm applying online to restore as worker with a PGWP application as well.

I was wondering how you guys got to upload the form online please? When I tried to upload mine, I keep on getting the following error: https://imgur.com/k3fqJES

For Question 3 ("I am applying for one or more of the following:") of the IMM5710 form, I have checked the following boxes:

  • Apply for a work permit for the first time or with a new employer
  • Restore my status as a worker
As well in Question 7, under the Status section I left it as "Other" and Other section I said "Out of status,need restoration". The dates were left blank.

I'm not sure what else I could've done differently to fix this error. Any help please would be appreciated. Thank you!

Hi! I am sorry I don't know the answer...I hired a consultant to help me upload the file from their portal.

I got the same issue with you. Then I asked the IRCC agents, they said I can only apply on paper for this situation.... just sent out my applications for restoration and PGWP to Edmonton last month.

Hello all I am also in the same situation as my student permit had expired(aug 3) 2 days before my completion letter(Aug 5) was provided so I ended up submitting for the restoration of status
as a worker and open post grad work permit.. I couldn’t find anything do it together online so I applied it on paper (aug 15) and was finally able to link it only last week( oct 25)....my question is that I did apply for it within the 90 days but now that it’s about to get over and the pgwp is still under processing..can I even apply for visitor visa just to obtain a valid status in Canada?
