Hello,
@Miss bee. Thanks for your insightful comments always. I applied for a work permit using an LMIA application number given by my employer in May 2024 when my work permit was about to expire and received an automated work permit extension letter.
I also applied for a second work permit in July 2024 when I received my OINP nomination which made my employer abandon the LMIA process which was a more expensive route.
I updated IRCC with the new information via webform in July with an updated IMM5710e form attaching all OINP support documents.
However, I received a refusal today (September 23) but was given 90days to restore my status which they stated expired today. I have paid the restoration of status fee of $229 though I did not submit a new work permit application as I have one currently ongoing.
My question is that
1. Can I go back to work?
2. Do I need to apply for another work permit again since I have a second one still ongoing.
Looking forward to your kind response
