Hey all,
here's briefly my situation:
- in August my visa was about to expire and before that I have applied to get work permit while also starting LMIA process
- LMIA was applied for in October
- the work permit got denied in November because the LMIA was not submitted in time
Meaning I'm right now out of status and would like to restore my status as a visitor.
At the same time, I have a wife and her visitor visa ends on 31st December and she'd like to apply for an extension of that visitor visa while we wait for my LMIA to be processed and my new work permit to be applied for. However one of the required documents for the visa extension is "Proof of status of family member", but I'm currently out of status. What should my wife submit there?
As for myself, I'd like to apply to get my status restored as a visitor to bridge the waiting for the LMIA, but will I have to wait to get the visitor visa first if the LMIA comes back positive in the next days? Or if I have LMIA, can I apply to restore my status with work permit?
Additionally, I also have an invite for Young Professional which I have accepted, but not yet submitted (also, apparently I cannot change the country of residence in the form, ideas?)
I'm just not entirely sure what the best course of action for us both would be right now. I'll be super grateful for any of your insights and comments!
Best wishes,
Olaf the 13th
