If we are working for an Indian company while present in Canada on expired work permit. Can we claim that experience as a Foreign Work Experience ?

You mean in Canada without status?

Does the company have any operations or clients in Canada?

Yes, in Canada without status.

No company does not have any clients or operations in Canada.
Currently I have applied for visitor record.
You have applied for just a visitor record or restoration too?

I don't know the answer to your question.

Be aware that you cannot apply for PR through an economic immigration stream while out of status in Canada.

I have already applied for PR.
My work permit expired on Feb 27 and since then I started working for a company in India (currently present in Canada). The company has allowed me to work in Canada until I come back to India.

I have applied only for visitor record not the restoration and explained that I am waiting for ITA and if if does not come till the last day of visitor record (if they approve my visitor record) then I will leave Canada on the last day of visitor record.

So my question is as I am in the 90 day period of restoration I cannot work in Canada as PGWP has expired, can I claim the work I am doing for Indian company as a Foreign Work Experience ?

You can continue working in Canada for the Indian company.

It's confusing to understand your situation. Did you apply for the visitor record before or after your work permit expired?
