My study permit expired on July 31 this year. I was late applying for extending the study permit so I applied for restoration of the temporary status instead. I recently received the refusal letter from cic and it asked me the leave Canada right away for the following reason stated in the letter:
"Immigration Legislation requires that every foreign national in Canada must hold a valid passport, identity or travel document. As a foreign national in Canada, you have not produced evidence that you are in possession of such a document and that it is valid for the duration of your stay in Canada.”
This is not true because I did upload my valid passport page when submitting the on-line application. My passport is valid till 2021. So I couldn't understand why this has to be the reason they rejected me.
I am still in school and taking classes for this semestar and just about to hit the final exams. And I got expelled as the letter says. That means I have to leave my school behind and not only will I waste all my tuition, but I will get automatic fail because I have passed the final course withdrawal deadline if I do that. So I re-applied anyway even it has already passed 90 days since my prior study permit expired. But this time with the paper application and I enclosed valid passport copies that they dismissed me for, as well as an appealing letter.
I get that it was my fault late applying for the visa after it expired but I paid $200 penalty and followed the restoration procedure. Does anybody know how likely they will approve me the study permit this time given my above situation. What would happen if they turn me down this time, will I still get a chance to hire a lawyer to act on my behalf or I have to leave right away. What else should I do really. I was very upset that this was happening because I am just about to graduate. If I go back to my own country, can I still come back by addressing this issue at my own country. I hope somebody that can help and give me some ideas about what could happen. Many many thanks. ??? ??? ???
