If you meet the requirements and also include the letter that you are applying under public policy , i see no grounds on which they can refuse your work permit extension

Those who have a valid status, who applied for a visitor record before the expiry of their work permit, their application is processing faster.

Those who need to restore and apply for the work permit together, it is taking more time!

No , this public policy is for Applicants with expired or soon to be expiring PGWP, since you are under SOWP you cannot extend your work permit under this public policy

Hi guys,

I applied for this policy on March 22 and it was approved on March 26.

I paid 255$ at the time of submission. But, I got a refund of 100$. Does this happen to anyone else?

Depends, if you were already on a work permit yes

But if your status changed, you need to wait for the letter by mail to renew your sin number and start working
As i am on work permit i am waiting for approval, but they send me a letter fir working till 13 july so do i need to renew sin no before expire through the letter or i have to wait till work permit?

wait for new work permit, then renew. you are on implied status until a decision is made on your application
