Open work permit application refused today. Need advise.
ITA: 6 Jan
AOR:3 Feb
Open Work Permit Application: 13 Feb
Previous Study Permit expired: 31 Mar (Became on implied status)
Open Work Permit Application refused: 13 may (Today)
The reason they said; Since your Application for Permanent Residence has been refused, you are no longer eligible for an open work permit.
Sorry to hear that, same thing happened to me in Feb
Apply for restoration as soon as possible
I got restoration work permit less than 2 months but it's closed
Why they refused your PR application?
I called CIC and had following talk.
First they said that since my application for PR is refused they had to refuse WP application.
I said it was my previous application in 2015, When I said my current application is in process (Confirmed with my representative) which I referred with Open Work Permit application, they said that I am only eligible for bridging of open work permit (BOWP) if I previously had work permit.
When I said it was not BOWP, it is just open work permit, they said that since review of current PR application has not been done yet they refuse the open work permit application.
Do not know what is happening at CIC.
They also mentioned in letter.
We also wish to advise you that your temporary resident status expired on May 13, 2016.
You may apply for restoration if, within 90 days from the expiry of your temporary resident status.
While disconnecting he said that my current status is expiring on 13th May (Today). If I apply again today, I am not under restoration.
