Applied for PGWP with Restoration of Study Permit

[Joey_C]

You did it correct. All you can do is wait. Assume you have not been working. You are within processing times of about 4 months so you should get response in or around mid October.

If your study permit expires before you apply

If you don’t change your status to visitor and your study permit expires, you have up to 90 daysafter your study permit expires to apply for a PGWP and restore your status as a student.

To restore your status as a student, you must

• apply online for your PGWP and pay the correct fee ($255) and
• pay the fee to restore your status as a student ($350)
  • Because of system limitations, you must pay the fees to restore your status as a student online and attach a copy of the receipt to your PGWP online application. You don’t need to make a separate application to restore your status as a student.

You can’t work until your study permit and work permit have been approved.

Hey friend, many thanks for sharing your experience. May I ask where did you attach the copy of the receipt of restoration fee? Client info or somewhere else? Thank you.

Applied for PGWP and paid restoration fee after 2 months after study permit expired. Are we supposed to stay in Canada while our application processes, or we out of status???

this is the most relieving thing i heard so far.

here is what is concerning me. this is recent and up-to-date
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio...ions-extend-your-stay-canada.html#restoration

If you wish to obtain a new study or work permit and restore your temporary resident status, you must

• submit your application within 90 days of losing your status
• provide full details of all the facts and circumstances that resulted in you committing the offence
• keep meeting the requirements for your stay
• meet all the conditions listed on your permit, and
• pay the restoration fee ($200)

that means i should have submitted the APPLICATION for extension of study permit in order to be accepted for pgwp?

in the post that i linked
https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-i...estoration-of-status-and-pgwp-refused.385090/

"
You may apply for restoration if, within 90 days from the expiry of your temporary resident status
you submit:
 a completed application form; "

although it is also an older thread

Hey, I'm in the same situation. Can you please tell me what you selected in Q3 of IMMI5710E form? These are the given options.

• A work permit with the same employer
• An initial work permit or a work permit with a new employer
• Restoration of your status as a worker
• An initial or an extension of a temporary resident permit

Also, can you tell me where did you upload the payment receipt of study permit? And was there a letter of explanation in the application?

I am applying pgwp and restoration. I am confused that in question number 3 I have to opt wp with new employer and restore status as worker. As website is saying to restore student status but there is only one option that is restore as worker.
