HELP REQUIRED FOR STUDY PERMIT RESTORATION AND THE STATUS OF THE PERMIT ISSUED

[humber07]

I had completed my 1 year post graduate course from Niagara College and was continuing my second course (postgraduate) with Humber College. I applied for my study permit extension and they refused me saying that a certain document was missing. I applied for restoration immediately within the 90 day period. But I have not received any answers from CIC.
My questions are:
1. If a restoration is granted, does CIC grant the same study permit or a visitor record?
2. Is an interview always required for restoration?
3. Under these circumstances can I apply for a PGWP, after my status is restored ?

CIC's websites states this and this is utterly confusing:

Possible restoration scenarios
A foreign student who is still in status can apply in Canada for a work permit under certain conditions. By inference, the foreign student can apply for a work permit when restoring status.

• A temporary foreign worker who is still in status can apply in Canada for a study permit if they meet certain conditions. By inference, they can also apply for a study permit when restoring status.
• A temporary resident who is eligible to apply in Canada for a work or study permit would be allowed to do so when restoring their status.

Note: The person must still satisfy the officer that they are a genuine temporary resident and meet all the requirements of the Act, in order to qualify for restoration.

Process at the CPC-V
Step 1
The CPC-V receives the application and ensures that all the required documentation and fees are included.

Step 2
If the applicant’s status has expired or they are otherwise in violation of the Act or Regulations, the officer

• writes a report outlining the allegations of the violation; and
• assesses the applicant’s eligibility for a restoration of status.
  • If the applicant is eligible for restoration
    The officer proceeds with the assessment of the application (medical results, bona fides, etc.).
    If all other requirements are met, the officer issues a visitor record (or appropriate permit) outlining the conditions for the restoration of status. The document is mailed to the client.
  • If the applicant not eligible for restoration
    The Minister’s delegate decides on a disposition for the case. The following options are available:
    • refer the case to an admissibility hearing,
    • issue a departure order, or
    • allow the foreign national to remain.
  • If the applicant requires a medical examination
    The following are mailed to the client:
    • a medical examination form [IMM 1017],
    • panel physician list, and
    • instructions.
  • If an interview is required because the applicant’s purpose is suspect or because the officer intends to refuse the application and needs more detailed information
    The file is referred to a local IRCC office near the applicant’s place of residence for further assessment.

Step 3
At the interview, the officer either approves or refuses the application.

• If the restoration is granted, a visitor record or appropriate permit outlining the conditions for the restoration of status is issued to the applicant.
• If the restoration is refused, the decision is communicated to the applicant. A letter is given to the applicant notifying them of the refusal and the reasons for it.

Note: Refused applicants must leave Canada immediately.

I will be grateful if any one can give some help , information regarding this.
