Rejected Work Permit for status

[lfg2707]

Hello: I need your help, I applied for a Work Permit on Feb 10th, 2024. I extended my visitor status and got approved for a visitor record on Feb 2th to August 2th. I got a rejection letter in my Work Permit saying I dont have status now. So whats the point? Can i appeal? Where? Can i re send the application asking to recover my status inside canada or i have to go out?

Thank you

How long will you be in Canada before the results come out? I have been here for more than six months and am still waiting for a final decision on my work permit application. My consultant told me that I am automatically on implied status since I applied.

A rejected application would very likely supersede any previously approved application and hence, leave an applicant with no status. If a work permit application refusal specifically notes no status, that would mean visitor status is revoked. Staying without status would ultimately result in removal order. The only other option here would be applying for restoration but if that's refused too, a removal order will follow immediately.

I will re apply for a work permit with a restoration of my visitor status. The website allows you to do both things at the same time.
I will explain to the officer that it was an involuntary error that I miss understood that I will be in implied status but that’s only when you renew or extend the same permit not when you want to change to another one.

You can apply to restore and apply for a WP. WP still not guaranteed.

What was your previous status and when did it expire?

What was your previous status and when did it expire?

I am currently holding a visitor visa that is valid until 2029. However, I have been in Canada for more than six months since August 12, 2024, due to the delay in the decision on my application.

Same happened to me, you lost your status. Maintain status it’s only when you want to extend your current status not to change to a new one.

For ex if you wanted to extend your visitor status you will be in mantain status until the visitor record get processed but your changing from visitor to work permit so there is no manteined status there.

That’s why my application got rejected, I was in a visitor status that expired 6 days before the rejection and we though we were on maintain status and no

Does this mean I have already lost my Visitor status? Should I expect that my work permit application might be rejected?

It will be rejected because you are out of status, so ASAP apply for a visitor record!

When is your decision come out after you filed on February 10, 2024?

 

[lfg2707]

After 6 months. They took exactly 6 months after I filled

But if you said that you have approved your extend to stay as visitor on February 02, 2024, meaning you've been here for a year now?

 

[lfg2707]

Yes
