    Restoration of work permit

    1. If the earlier issued document has an expiry date and if it has expired you have to redo the process. 2. No, you need an LMIA for the work permit. 3. If it's taking so long, request for GCMS notes and check. Visitor status totally depends on the officer, how long they want to give it to you.
