Hi, I just received that my PGWP is rejected because I wasn't a full time student.. But I was enrolled as full-time student for all of my semesters. So, I contacted my university's international student service central. They said, I could reapply and add some note on my transcript that I was full-time student. But while I look up in the CIC website, I couldn't find any option for restoration. Where I can find it? And can anyone explain what should I do if I want to re-apply for my PGWP? Like step by step.. I couldn't find any detailed step for reapplying for the PGWP..
I graduated on Feb 2022(Winter21), and I applied PGWP on March, and I got my result today. So, my study permit is expired..

You need to submit reconsideration with proof that you were a full-time student throughout your studies with no breaks.

You have to take a lawyer help, I did this in 3 years back, it is a paper based application
you don’t have any status so you have to restore status to study and at the same time will apply for pgwp

Pay restoration fee
Study restoration fee
Application fee
Consult a lawyer for submitting the application as there is no proper information available online

* you cannot work until the decision is made, contact cic for more information, call many times different agents will give different info

best of luck

Can I still able to restore my status as student even though I'm already graduated? If so, where I can find more information for it?
You got rejected for PGWP and as we know, a person can apply for PGWP only after they graduate. So I believe restoring study permit status should be possible for you, since it is the only temporary resident permit you have/had. You cannot use it to study, but it will enable you to stay in Canada legally, while re-applying for PGWP (if eligible).

Which university did you apply for ? and for which intake did you apply for ? What's your education background and experience ? What's your IELTS score ? What's your Financial situation ? You can reapply only if you understand all these things.

Their PGWP application was rejected, not their study permit. I don't think their educational background, IELTS Score, Financial Situation are relevant for restoration/reapplying.

Apologies, I did not read their question completely and I was assuming it as a study permit and so my comment was that .

If I can apply for restoring my study permit, should I apply separately apply for study permit(plus restoration fees) and PGWP? (In this case, I should fill out two separate foams)
Or just apply PGWP(pay the fee for PGWP+study permit fee+restoration fee)(In this case, I should only fill out foam for PGWP)
There was no clear instructions for this..I'm really worried about my re-application.

I'm afraid, I don't know about restoration, and what to do if the PGWP is refused.
