SOWP Restoration + Work permit Extension

[selinaa07]

I have recently submitted my Husband's SOWP Restoration + Work permit Extension after his initial extension was refused.
1. I forgot to upload his full time employment letter. Can i generate web form?
2. What is the restoration process timeline right now? Can he work after his restoration got approved?

1. His job letter is not relevant is you are on a PGWP. It is your job letter and paystubs which are required.
2. If his work permit is expired then he cannot work until permit is approved.

2. Even if he got his restoration status approved?

Correct. Restoring status doesn’t let you work as work permit must be approved. Restoring status just means keeping status as worker while permit is being processed. See IRRC procedure.

Continuation of work or study
Foreign nationals applying for restoration have lost their status and authority to work or study. They may not continue to work or attend school until their status and authorization have been restored and a new work or study permit has been issued.
