Jovi first of all, my sympathy goes to you. Is terrible that you took the time to do the WP application and pay the fee so they will not take the time to properly explain the reason for the refusal. I got my AOR end of January and did my medicals in April. I'm still waiting for PPR. My work permit expires Dec 31st. We can't get the open work permit because there are restriction on the nomination. Along with our application we have to submit the nomination, letter of support from the province, new offer of employment and of course proof employer has paid the compliance fee (in our case, employer is making us pay for that too $230 more)Did you send all of that? if you didn't that is probably why they refused it. But they should have requested additional info instead. At this point if application is closed I don't think there is nothing you can do but re submit with all necessary documents. I really hope the 4 year rule doesn't apply in our case because if it does, we are screw. I have been here since 2012 and this is my 3rd work permit. Can somebody here clarify that 4 year rule? Does that apply if we have already started the pr process? My husband and I arrived March 2012 and because of the changes to WP in 2014 we had to go back home in march 2015 and came back Sept 2015. So right there is 4 years of work permit. I'm starting to freak out now.
