Hello everyone,

I got ITA under FSW in EE in March and submitted my application on April 21 2016(AOR).

My work permit was expiring 31 December 2015 and hence I had applied for an extension which got rejected on March 9th due to my EE application not had passed the R10 completeness check at the time.

From March 9th 2016 onward I had 90 days to restore my status and hence I applied for restoration status and visitor visa within Canada.

But I got a reply yesterday from CIC saying my TRV has been refused because

"Your status as a temporary resident has expired. You did not submit an application for extension of their temporary resident status on or before the expiry of the authorized period."

What I do not understand is that I was given 90 days to apply for restoration status and I did apply within that time (and have a date stamped application from CIC) and hence the reson provided by the immigration officer doesn't make sence to me.

Also the letter doesn't mention what should be my next steps like if I have to leave Canada how many days I have or by what date etc and would this affect my EE FSW application towards Permanent Residence.

My medicals have been passed and eligibity check is in process.

Has anyone been through this?
What do I do?


Please help!!!
