My pgwp expired last september. So whenever the questionnaire would ask the expiration date. It would tell me I can’t apply. What do i do?

follow this link:
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/coronavirus-covid19/restoration-extension-trv.html#more

it saying:
  • If your status expired more than 90 days ago, select any date that is within the past 90 days. (This is a temporary workaround to allow you to apply past the 90-day deadline.)

Do i need to restore my status? I’m on implied since I submitted another application
IRCC told me to still apply for restoration and explain the situation in a letter. If the other application gets approved before the work permit, they will refund the restoration fee I was told.

FYI, I was on implied status but I didn't apply restoration and I explained why I did not in the letter. (Very detail and I also attached the expired pgwp and the confirmation letter for VR Application)

I got the approvals today both VR and WP. I'm not recommending my way though. I worried about this so much until today. Good luck.
