Thanks for replay..

I came to Canada as Open Work Permit Status in Feb 2016, when i applied for work permit as dependent of my spouse who is on student permit in Canada at that time. At that time i got OWP and i came to canada. OWP valid till 31st july 2017.

I and my Spouse both applied for work permits first time on june 30 2017 , My spouse applied for Post graduate work permit and i applied for extension of my OWP before expired. Now Immigration department approved PGWP for my spouse on 19th sept.2017 but they refused my application on 19th sept.2017. And they are saying as

"As the spouse of a holder of a Post Graduate work permit, 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. You may be eligible to re-apply for a work permit if you are able to provide proof that your spouse is a skilled worker in Canada, which may include a letter from your spouse’s employer, stating his/her job title, duties, and salary. If you cannot prove that your spouse is in a skilled occupation, your application for a work permit cannot be approved without a Labour Market Impact Assessment from Employment and Social Development Canada"
But actually my spouse was working on NOC 2282(B). at that time but i was forget to put her paystub.
this time of restoration spousal work permit of PGWP holder(second time), we provide each and every supporting documents. so according to your experiance should not be any problem right?
Please help me if you have any information about this,
You have a good chance of approval but oo one can give guarantees.

Hello all, i have a question.
I have to apply for restoration and bc pnp is taking forever to issue work permit support letter so i am thinking of going personally to their office and request them to expediate, as i was not issued work permit support letter as time of my nomination.
And i never needed it until i had to apply for closed work permit which is not possible without the letter.
Kindly give ur suggestions.
Much thanks

Sorry for replying so late .Its same as you apply online for work permit extension . You just need to answer the questions properly and it will ask you restoration fee $200 plus WP free .There will be main application form (IMM5710E) and you have to choose "Restoration of your status as a worker" option.

Hi

No, you don't need to apply for Restoration. Your status remains valid until your permit expires. However, if it is a closed work permit, you cannot work for anyone else, so you will essentially be a visitor.

Hi guys, I need help please.
I graduated April 2017 from a 2 years program , applied for PGWP in June and it got approved in August but the PGWP was valid till March 3 due to the fact that my passport expires March 3. I applied to extend my PGWP by paper Dec 6 2017 but got refused March 15 , 2018 and the entire application was sent back to me (100 days processing time ) due to incomplete fees, I reapplied March 29, 2018 and is July 15, 2018 and haven’t heard a single word from CIC...what could be going on? I’m so confused, help guys
