Hello guys,

If anybody in same or similar situation could please help me with information?

After 2.9 years being in Canada on work permit (me) and study permit (wife) I got refused to renew my OWP when we had applied for PGWP. The reason: You have not provided sufficient evidence to prove that your spouse is employed in an occupation that falls within the National Occupation Classification Skill level of 0, A or B.

I am advised to restore my status within 90 days.

Could you advise me please what are the options available for me? Should I apply for visitor and OWP (they mentioned that I can do only when my wife becomes skilled worker) or only restoration as a visitor? How long can I stay in this status taking in account that my wife got OWP for 3 years?
What form (imm5708,5710 etc.) should I fill?


Really appreciate your help,


Ram.

If yes, apply for restoration of status OWP, with proof of the above.

If no, apply for restoration of status as a visitor.
