Application for Work Permit Extension Refused

[SFKAS]

Below is my situation

My PGWP expired last week of January 2015. 2 days before it expired I applied for BOWP by paper.

I had applied for CEC in the first week of Nov 2014. I hadn't got the AOR yet when I applied for BOWP and was hoping that by the time the application for BOWP will be processed I would have the AOR. I did attach supporting documents with my application for BOWP such as explanation letter, employment letter etc.

Only to find a a couple of weeks later that my application for CEC was returned due to CAP being filled. At this point Express Entry scores hadn't come down to where they are now and it looked impossible to get an ITA.

My score is 410. I am hopeful of an ITA within the next month but you never know.

Today I got the refusal for the work permit extension with the letter stating that I should apply for restoration of status


I have questions below:

1) How does the restoration of status process work? I am thinking of restoring my status as a student. What are the implications of that? (I can't seem to find the exact link for the application)

2) Since my PGWP has expired and extension has been refused, is my EE qualification of CEC still valid?

3) Should I amend my EE profile and put today as the last date I worked?

4) What other suggestions do you have generally?

Any suggestions or advice will be hugely appreciated and I will be very thankful!

You have 90 Days to Restore your Status (May be as a Student/Visitor) from the Date of Refusal. I would Recommend to Hire an Immigration Representative Quickly. Secondly, As far as your CEC Application with EE is Concerned. You will be Qualified and May be even receive an ITA. But how you will apply for Bridging Work Permit afterwards? The Requirement States that you should apply for a BOWP Before your Work Permit Expires... Restore your Status First!!!!

Thanks Dparekh. I know I can not get a work permit now.

Any more suggestions please?

Questions:

1) If I become a student again I won't get another PGWP as its once in a lifetime? Correct? Even if I do a Masters

2) Since I got my refusal yesterday I should update my Express Entry profile's work history section and change my current job to show that it ended yesterday?
