Hi Guys,

I need some help or suggestion from all of you guys. The story is I had PGWP which expired on Sep 6, 2015. 5 days before my PGWP expired, I received AOR from my PR application so I quickly sent application for Bridging Open Work Permit to CIC On Sep 1, 2015. On Jan 4 2016, I received a letter from CIC about my Bridging Open Work Permit application and they told me that they refuse my application because my nomination letter indicate specific employer and/or specific NOC code. The problem is my PNP issued on Dec 2014 and only had NOC Code, however, there is no specific employer or employment restriction indicated on my nomination letter. According to Bridging Open Work Permit website, on "Determining if nomination has employment restrictions" section, it said that . Morever, . So in conclusion, my nomination letter doesn't have anything that indicate I have employment restriction. And then during I applied for Bridging Open Work Permit, the requirement also didn't mention that your nomination letter must not have employment restriction. So what should I do?. Because they refuse my application so my Implied Status is revoked too and they gave me 90 days to restore my status. If possible, I don't want to pay another $300-400 to restore my status which there is no guarantee they will approve my application. Any suggestion for me? I really appreciate any help. Thank you
Hi. Same situation here. Could you please share what happened after? Were you able to restore your status and continue your immigration process while having a work permit?
