Hello guys, I am in urgent need of a query!
I am on restoration status in Canada means my work permit has expired in Jan 22, 2024 and i applied for its extension which got refused on april 24, 2024. I have 90 days of restoration period (that means apply for visitor visa or study visa or get PR). My express entry(EE) for Canada PR is 495 and current draws for EE is 522. I might get PR by this year.
My question is I am getting a free trip to Iceland as my close friends are going in August 2024 and I want to go but the VFS global said i cannot get Schengen visa as my status is expired and i need valid status of atleast 3 months old in order to apply for visa. Also one of the guy in VFS said again u might get visa even if u apply as it totally depends on immigration officer as he said he has seen people getting visa who has submitted no supporting documents and getting visa refused for those people who has submitted all supporting documents with all validity and still got rejected.
In this situation what shall i do? 1 thing is that if i go back to India now in July i can apply for Schengen visa and get it but i wanna stay here and figure out my PR and if not till AUGUST then wanna go to Iceland but I am trying not to go back to India as my family is a bit emotional and might not let me go to Europe or come back to Canada.
any HELP or ideas would be really helpful to me guys. thanks in advance for your time and efforts.
