I’m helping my mom with her Canadian citizenship application and I’m a bit confused about how to answer the work permit section.

Her open work permit expired in Dec 2021. I applied for an extension in Sept 2021, but since it was taking too long, we went to the border and got a new work permit in April 2022.

On the citizenship application, it asks if she applied for an extension (which she did), then asks if it was approved. If I select “No,” the form asks for the date of refusal, but she never actually got a refusal letter.

Has anyone else dealt with this? What should I put for the “refusal date” if the application was never formally refused but replaced by a new border-issued permit?
