When does your restoration period end?

Thats correct it sucks big time!!!

Yep if you do not have a valid visa which can be used to renew you SIN number you can't claim!!

Your employer may not have the comfirmation yet but apply at least 30 days before your visa expires then like I say CIC will ask you to provide either the positive LMO or confirmation from Service Canada. You must apply before your visa expires to be able to work under implied status and don't...

You can apply now stating the LMO has been applied for. If Service Canada have sent confirmation back confirming receipt of application that will give you a file number if you have not had anything yet don't worry still apply as you can continue to work on implied status after your visa...

Hi I have already emailed them and they have treid to help push the LMO through so feel sure she will get back to me once she reads my email I sent on Friday but of course its a bank holiday tomorrow, everything is against us.

It has been with an officer for nearly 2 weeks, we asked them to call on Tuesday and tell them that our restoration status was due to expire today and still nothing.....I have contacted lawyers, MLA even Jason Kenney but no relpies!!!

Thank you all but we have to make a decision in the next 2 weeks of if we stay or go as like I say we are out of money!

No my husband came over first to work for another company who we ended up reporting to the Labour Board and thats Ok for my husband to get home but what about me and the kids and all our items that we have now after being here for 3 years. Its disgusting I feel like going to the media to show...

Saying that though do they not have an obligation to tell an employee that they do not intend to do it? Also even though we can prove that they were trying to apply for the LMO does that not help our case. In the end we will not have money to get back to the UK if we have to as we have used our...

@jitu1011 Did you complain sucessfully after you received your work visa? If so how did you do it?

Oh no thats not what I wanted to hear, even if we have a contract and job offer and can prove that they had not applied when they said they were dealing with it way before the visa was due to expire? I thought they had procedured in place that a TFW shall no incur any financial disadvantage?

Thanks pippin The stress has been beyond belief we can't sleep and have 2 kids whose education will be in a total mess if we have to return to the UK. It makes me so mad that employers have no idea what it has taken to move to canada. arrggghh.

@ Pippin we have more than enough evidence as I asked our immigration consultant to contact them when I was suspicious that nothing was being done and she was the one who sorted their mess for them. We are not going through the employer for immigration so do not need to rely on them for anything...

Thankfully my husband has a new employer that he found when we got the refusal letter for the visa extension but we are still waiting for the LMO for them, we are now waiting to see if our visitor visa will be apporved before we can go to the border to apply for the work visa.

I have just an email as you have replied thank you. I am so determined to make them accountable for this it is so wrong and surely they cannot get away with it!!

Does anyone know where we can get legal help as TFW. We need help to try and get financial compensation from an employer who has cause us to be in a total mess, we have proof that they did nothing in time to enable us to extend our visas and are fighting to stay in Canada now as a visitor The...

No its my husband who is an Long Haul Truck driver its been one big mess up by his company who told us they were dealing with it at the start of the year when in fact they did not do anything so when we applied to extend our visas in Mrch thinking they were processing the LMO it was refused...

Yep been waiting since my employer finally submitted the LMO on May 9.

Hi wendyK So sorry to hear, are you still working on implied status and will then have restoration period to try and sort it out? The whole thing is beyond words we are still waiting for the LMO filed May 9 we are now 2 days for the end of our 90 day restoration, not be able to work since mid...
