Hello everyone,

I was planning to apply for restoration of status as a visitor as my BOWP application got refused. I am wondering if my PR application would get approved while I am waiting for Restoration?

My AOR is June 9, and everything except criminality is passed and criminality is waiting to finalise.

Thanks

Why did you get a refusal on the BOWP application?
Hey I received a refusal saying that I did not provide my AOR (even though I did), I have already sent a reconsideration decision, but was thinking about applying for restoration of status just in case that is going to help my PR (which is near completion)

More info about the refusal here:https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/reconsideration-request-for-a-refused-bowp-application.716649/

Okay, go back to your original question in this post, if that's the reason your BOWP got refused then I don't think a restoration will have any negative effect on your PR application.

It's hard to say which one will get approved first, but my suggestion is wait for either of them to come to you first.

Hi there, BTW I'm in the same boat. The officer processing my inland PR application requested I send them proof that I've submitted my restoration application.

Hello,

please help me to understand the situation below.

My BOWP gets refused and my PR application is still in process. My medical and biometrics has done in October. Should i restore my status as some people advised me to apply restoration because this could be the reason that i didn’t get portal 1 yet because it will 12 months completed on 12 feb. but some people advised me I don’t need to apply any restoration as i have still 60 days left from 90 days and immigration will process my file without any status applied.

i am really very confused.

PR will not be approved if you are out of status.

You need to restore your status.
