Hi,

I need some guidance with my BOWP application:

My original post-graduation work permit expired on January 19, 2025, and I applied for a work permit extension on Jan 18, 2025. I was working while on implied status. I received my ITA in Express Entry under the CEC category on June 12, 2025. On July 18, 2025, I received a refusal on the Work permit extension application. In the letter, it is mentioned - "You may apply for restoration if, within 90 days from the expiry of your temporary resident status(July 17, 2025)". The refusal letter is dated July 18, 2025. I submitted my PR application on August 1, 2025. Now I am applying for Restoration + BOWP. Please refer to the Refusal Letter in the dropbox link below:

What date should I enter in the questionnaire on the IRCC portal - "When does your status in Canada expire" while filling out the Restoration + BOWP application?
