Work permit to study permit

[Joeljose]

The work permit expired on march 7 before it expires I applied for the extension based on LMIA
And I got the refusal refusal on June 5th.
Currently I’m on restoration period.

Can I apply for a study during the restoration period.?

Not a consultant but from what I've seen, being on restoration status means you're technically out of status and restoring it. You can apply for a study permit during this time, but the challenge is that you'd need a valid acceptance letter from a DLI first, and IRCC may question why you're switching from work to study after a refusal.

I'd honestly recommend talking to a licensed immigration consultant on this one since the interaction between restoration, refused extensions, and new study permits is tricky and getting it wrong could affect your future applications.
