I am looking for help
Which option I have to choose?
Iam apply for restoration of status for my wife after her OWP extension refused and I don't know which option I have to choose to restore her status and get OWP for her again?

It not very much clear fore which option I have to choose
They said on the website :
" Check the appropriate ( box or boxes )to indicate if you are applying for.

so in my case I am not sure which option I have to choose just one or both
So
On the form IMM 5710, in the first section under question 3, “I am applying for one or more of the following:

1-" apply for work permit with the same employer.
2- ”Restore my status as a worker.

2. She cannot work until approved. She pays fees to restore status & for work permit. Why was she refused & when did permit expire? Did letter say she can restore.

So option no 2 is the correct answer?
Why refused? " not satisfied that you meet the requirements...."
But the actual reason
Coz my company gets late when they apply for my LMIA, and they apply for the WP extension 3 days before the expiration date then I applied for my wife for extension as well and the paper I attach with my wife application was the " maintained status" coz I wasn't having any Lmia or WP .

Expired: 28 AUG 2024
Yes letter say she can restore with in 90 days

If she was a worker then yes. Is your LMIA and work permit approved now? If not when did you apply? What is your status?

I have to wait, my WP still under process for almost 4 months now maybe after one month or two will come out, then I will apply.
At that point she won’t be able to restore her status and remaining in Canada without status for a long period of time is not a good idea. Best option would be to leave versus remaining in Canada without status.

My wife SOWP expired AUG 28 I applied for her extension Aug 26
I just got her refusal 20 Dec 2024, I believe we have 90 days from that day , right ?

My company applied for my work permit expired AUG 28 and company applied for extension Aug 24 and my LMIA already approved 2 month now and they send the approval along with my extension application ,

so I am waiting for my WP approval then I will apply for her ice I get it with in the 90 days.
Correct me if what I doing is wrong?

Did the letter indicate when the date she lost status is? Think it is August.

The permit expired AUG 20
And in the refusal letter said ( We also wish to advise you that your temporary resident status expired on December 20, 2024 )
