How many days I can leave in canada after in case of refusal ?


Thanks for your help.

Your application has been selected to receive a little extra love and attention from the gov't. This is similar to how people are randomly selected for more comprehensive searches at the airport.

They will do a special review of your application and documentation and may interview you.

Is your temporary resident visa (TRV) co-terminus with your work permit? I don't think having an application for M-PNP have anything to do with your work permit being delayed. In another forum, a member, also in the IT field, had a longer processing time for his work permit but he has his WP now. You have submitted your application for renewal of your work permit before its expiration so I think you're on implied status until you hear from CPC. If you received a refusal after the expiration of your WP but within 90 days, you can file for a restoration of status.

Thanks for your reply.
I had TRV but expired one year ago. I got 6 month visa and 6 month WP at airport. I extended my WP for on yr from jan09 to dec09. This is my 2nd renewal. I don't understand what is mean by Quality Assurance ? Is this related to any medical or backgroud check or documnetation reverificvation. I am bit worried, what to do. Also what is mean by restoration of status ? what they ask in interview if rrquired?

You did not renew you TRV when you renewed your WP? Anyway, for restoration of status:

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/5553E4.asp

I don't know what they ask during the interview. But as long as your work is what it says on your duties and responsibilities, I don't think you have anything to worry about. I don't know if you are the same Tim from the other forum. Have you personally contacted the other forum member?

Yes. Same Tim in other forum too. I didn't ask personally to other guy. So its 4 month gone since I applied. Need to wait for another 2 months. I don't think it is LMO issue. As first time my WP approved in 70 days. Its taking time in 2nd time.

You're applying for the same employer, so are you in implied status? Have you tried calling up CIC again? It's been a month since they said you've been selected for "quality assurance"; they may already have updates on your file. BTW, you're in IT? What job type?
