@ MALL did you apply online or by paper? If you applied online, I believe you should be expecting it later this month or early November. I really don't know abt paper application and the call center agents wouldn't say much either. Let's pray we all get restored soon. Although they said Dec 26th, you might get it earlier than that.

like my name, i am new here, i just have a couple of questions and everybody feel free to help me out here please

say your study permit is expired and you apply restoration within 90 days,

1, do you apply your new study permit in the SAME package with the restoration application?

2, while you waiting for a decision, can you leave the country or do you have to stay in Canada? if so, till when?


thank you so much guys!!!

Yes you can apply for both in same package and you cannot leave the country. If you leave the country, the process will be terminated. To confirm any info, please call Canada immigration call center on 18882422100.

Hi Kkirat,

To be sincere, I really don't remember how I answered that part because I completed the form over 2months ago. But here's what you can do. Call CIC call center and ask to be transferd to the online team. The online team will guide you in filling the form. They helped me a lot when I was filling the form. You can call as many times as you want. Goodluck.

Hahaha Mali, I guess I was right. I told you to expect it later this month or early November. Big Congratulation!! I pray that the rest of us get ours. I actually applied on Aug 13th but my file was transfered to restoration department on the 16th of September 2013. I guess I'll have to work with your timeline since I applied online too. Thanks for the timeline update, its a great way to help those waiting for a response

Hi I was on a PGWP and applied to extend my work permit with the PNP Support Letter. Got refused due to travel document missing page when scanning.. Anyways, was notified of refusal after expiry and had to apply for restoration. Submitted on Oct 1st.

My PNP Cert expires in January 2014, My job offer letter states a start date of Nov 1st 2013 for employment..(is that a problem?)

How long processing time should I expect? And can I apply for the Federal part of PR while I await on WP Restoration?

Any feedback from you guys would be much appreciated !

Thanks & Best of luck to all

Hey guys...tell me what should i do..i guess i m the worst case for restoration...

1. Jan 30th i applied for restoration of work permit with pnp certificate..
2. they said 4 months after ur file is submitted so it will be like june 1st...
3. then they said 4 months from the date the file was transferred to restoration dept(march 12th)
4. So 4 months from then...so july 12th
5. On july 12th i contacted again..they said they forwarded a mail to restoration dept...
6. after 2 weeks cic contacted me and said to give a new pnp certificate and gave me time till 18th of august
7. I got my new pnp in two weeks and submitted on 13th of august
8. No answer.
9. Sept 4th again i asked them to mail to restoration dept. and they did and said they will get an answer in a week or 90 days
10. today i contacted them oct 25th..they said still they have to make a decision..

so its almost 9 months i didnt got my work permit...

what should i do...i didnt work for 9 months...not even a single dollar i have on my name...
lots of pending bills..
even my boss fired me two weeks before..cant blame him...
i got my medical for permanent residency but i dont have money to go for medical examination...
tell me what should i do...
