I have not applied. My company had applied for LMIA

But you cannot apply for a closed work permit from within Canada.

Would add that work permit processing can take 6 months even after receiving a positive LMIA. Approval for all is not gauranteed

So what is your status in Canada now? Assume you are of status once extension was refused. You have to be outside Canada to apply if LMIA is approved.

Hello Everyone,

Recently i have received my work permit extension got refused few days, and in the letter it is mentioned to Apply for Restoration of my Status within 90 days. But i am planning to go back to my home country till i get the work permit through LMIA. so in this time do i need to apply for Restoration of my visa or can i leave the country by the end of this month without applying for my restoration application.
