I would recommend that you restore your status to visitor now so that you don't run out of time. Restoration can take anywhere from a few weeks to over three months.
And if i restore my status as a visitor how long will i be granted in the country as a visitor if it is approved?
Look at the app.
Entirely up to IRCC. No one here can say how long you will get if you are approved.
Apply for the status restoration to Visitor Visa ASAP, once you have the visitor status then you can later apply for work permit if you get positive LMIA.
Its never good to be out of Status in Canada. I know someone who was in the similar situation, he restores his status to visitor and got 6 months of visitor record and later he got his work permit.
Hi, I am in the same situation.
My status is lost just a few days ago.
If I expected my LMIA will release in 60days, could I apply the restoration in 60-80days with the positive LMIA?
Or should I restore as a visitor right now?
thank you!
