Visitor Visa Expired

Help and guidance would be highly appreciated.

I came to Canada with a closed work permit. I recently received my new work permit with an extension.

My wife and kids came as dependents (temporary visitors). We had applied for a visitor record but unfortunately we were late by 2 days to submit ( we didn't know about the 90 days rule). It got refused and their visa had expired.

The IRCC agent I spoke to said that I can I can use my approved work permit and do flagpoling to restore their status. I believe without a valid TRV they won't be allowed to re-enter.

I have a few questions:
1. As their Visa (counter) foil has expired, would it be possible to restore status for my family?

2. Do you or anyone you know face something similar?

Any advice or suggestion would been helpful. Thank you.

Note: I have Provincial Nomination Certificate to apply through non-express entry PNP.

There is no renewal process. You have to apply for a new TRV.

Their status cannot be restored from within Canada. They need to exit and re-enter Canada.

Just to add to my comment above, if their TRVs have expired they would need new ones to be able to enter Canada. They can only apply for new TRVs from outside of Canada.

Thank you for your response.

Will there be any issue due to this while leaving Canada?

As I'll soon be applying through Non-EE PNP.
