@stress 27 why didnt you renew your work permit? As long as your staying with same employer its fine but once the employer terminate your services thats another thing because youll be out of status. And no valid work permit means no medicare and cannot go out of canada bec you need re-entry visa which you can only apply when have valid WP. Anyways its your decison to keep on implied status until you received your OWP. If by chance call CIC if you can renew your wp without any restoration bec its pass 90 days and your on implied status. Goodluck.
