Hi everyone got caught up in same situation. Now I'm really confused and worried, need some advice and help.
I'm a TFW and a MPNP holder. I applied for PR last March 04, 2024 and recieved AOR June 18, 2024. IME and BIO also done and no update recieved.
My WP expires last Sept 18, 2024 and applied for extention last Aug 18, 2024 and withdraw it because there is a problem on my A-code for LMIA exept given by the my employer. They provide me a new code and applied Aug 31, 2024. Refused last Dec.21, 2024 because I did not provide updated MPNP certificate and Support letter. I applied for restoration Dec. 23, 2024 with all latest and upto date documents. However, I did some revisions on information and update them thru webform. Until now I didn't recieve any updates. Some colleagues have same situation as mine but all of them has been granted by new WP. And now I'm very worried on my position.
- Does my status affects my PR application?
- Does revisions from webform affects my restoration of status?
- Why from all of my colleagues I'm the only one left thus I'm the first one who send the application?
- Please enlighten me, I'm very confuse on whats happening and I'm starting to panic.

Thank you for everyone who will give me answer and advice.. i do really appreciate it and needed it at the moment.

You may want to get a consult with an immigration lawyer. PR cannot be approved while you are in Canada without status. So it's important that restoration be approved.

Hi kkincanada,
I am in same boat. BC PNP Nominee( primary), applied PR in Sep 2023, SOWP extension refused( 2 weeks back), stopped working and informed my employer, applied for Restoration +SOWP within one week. Employer is supportive and provided support letter. I have informed BC PNP through post nomination program( raised a case of change of employement) with a detailed email and supporting documents.
My consultant and Employer(in-house Immigration consultant) has asked NOT to notify IRCC yet.
My question is: Is there any way of contacting BC PNP( someone in person) to explain the situation and what do BC PNP does in these cases. Are there chances of them withdrawing the nomination?
If nothing changes on my BC PNP nomination, will IRCC still work on my PR application? I have 2 months more for my 8 months window( if at all there is any such window).
What happened in your case? What supporting documents you have submitted? Do need any document from the employer?

Did you receive your PR. What type of support letter you provided from the employer?

hi,

Please help me understand my restoration scenario as mentioned below:

My PR application is in progress through PNP Express Entry. I filed the PR application while I was waiting for the SOWP extension, i.e. under implied status. However, the SOWP extension was recently refused, and I had to file for Restoration of Status. I stopped working immediately, and my employer continues to support our application.

With the employer's continued support, I filed the Restoration of Status as a Worker application using the Work Permit Support letter received from the Province. This was done immediately within a week of the refusal of the SOWP extension application. I am concerned and have the following questions:

  1. Will this impact the ongoing PR application?
  2. Is it possible to file a concurrent Restoration of Status as a "Visitor" application as well since Restoration of Status as a Worker falls within the Work Permit within Canada processing times, which is going to take 4-5 months minimum?
  3. What happens if they refuse the Restoration of Status as a Worker application for whatever reasons and 90-day period has passed? Will it still impact the PR application?
Hi kkincanada, did you resign when you got the refusal letter or did your company suspend your employment?
