Help pleaseeeeeee
Hi there, I received ITA last week. But while filling my application I realise something which may result in my application being refused. My work permit expired on 20 July 2015, but I considered myself on implied status since I send an application for work permit extention before the expiry date. However, my application got returned on 20 August 2015, saying that a fee of 155$ was missing. That was weird because the copy of the receipts was in the return application envelop and I also have copies of the e-receipts which demonstrated that I paid both a fees of $100 and $155 for processing the application.
I immediately send another application for work permit and explain the situation. I stopped on 30th September 2015 and leaved Canada on the same date. I got a refusal letter for the work permit one year later, i.e, September 2016 via email.
Technically it means that I have worked illegally from 20 July 2015 to 30 September.
Please advise me how do I should I explained this in the explanation letter to the immigration officer and what is the chance that we might refused my PR application because of this.
