Concerned IMM,
What is your current status in Canada? CIC usually indicates that you have either lost status or you are still in status and they quote the date. The refusal letter that you posted was incomplete.
Cheers!
I have lost my status, the complete letter reads as follows:
This letter refers to your application for a 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.
[X] After reviewing your case, it has been determined that you are not a person whose
employment will create or maintain significant employment, benefits or opportunities for
Canadian citizens or permanent residents.
Foreign students in Canada are eligible for a work permit for post-graduation employment if they
provided the evidence that they have satisfied all requirements of the program of studies. As
you have not submitted the required documentation in regard to the completion of your studies,
you are not eligible for a work permit in this category.
[X] We also wish to advise you that your temporary resident status expired on 2015/12/17.
You may apply for restoration if, within 90 days from the expiry of your temporary resident
status, you submit:
a completed application form;
applicable fees for restoration and for the immigration document(s) in the amount of
$455.00. Payments should be made online at..... When you are finished, you
must print the receipt of payment and include it with your application.
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.
Words can't describe exactly how I feel now! Last night I just felt I should login to my cic account to see what's going on. I logged in and saw it says updated but I didn't receive any email. Then I thought to myself maybe I was just tired and need to sleep to stop all these hallucinations then I went to sleep. This morning I checked again and once again it said updated! All these times there was nothing really there. Then I went back to the previous page and saw this time it said approved! Awesome! Now I have to continue with the next step and hope at least one of the jobs applied for will give me the offer.
