LMIA EXEMPT WORK PERMIT EXTENSION

[Lady_Ashka]

Thanks! What i am worried about is 3 things:

1. How big a chance is there of them rejecting my application?
2. Uf they reject and i have to restore, do i HAVE TO restore worker status or can i switch to visitor? (I dont have to work if its more difficult to restore work status than visitor)
3. What does an application to resyore worker dtatus require and how risky is it? If they reject, can i apply for visitor status or do i have to leave Canada?

I would have thought you can switch to visitor any time by exiting and re-entering Canada if you are from visa-exempt country.
(Awesome show by the way. I used to love Dwa Swiaty/Land of the dragon lord when I was a kid. Ashka was awesome villainess)

Why do you think your WP application will be rejected? Don't you meet all the requirements?

2. I am not sure about visitor. But I think you can change your status to visitor visa any time.
3. Restoration is not risky. You can legally stay in Canada while your application is in process. It's just that CIC takes more time to process restoration applications as compared to regular ones.

Thanks for the answers!

I think i meet all the requirements but i was worried about this employer id thing, and another small thing (i showed them my cv in which i poibted out that i applied for another research project and gave a budget but i ended up applying for less monet, forgot to change it on the cv but a letter ftom my dean shows the smaller amount. But since neither the cv nor the extra funding were required in the application i hope that will not be a problem). And i really want to stay, so i thought i'll ease my anxiety by asking about other possibilities in case of the worst scenario. So if i have to restore status, what does that involve? What documents etc? And can i get the visitor status(for 6 months and then extend?) if they reject the status restoration application? Or is it that if they reject restoration i am not allowed to apply for visitor?


Btw Bars you are literally the only person on the web who got that reference!!! Amazing!!! Haha

1. CIC officers won't reject your applications due to issues you mentioned above.
2. Restoring a status is exactly the same thing as applying for a new work permit. You will check off "Applying for restoration" and "work permit" at that time and can also submit a letter of explanation stating the reasons why you are staying in Canada even if your work permit has expired and all.

Processing time could be more in restoration case.

You will issue you a letter of leave this letter if they reject restoration too.

Ok great, so in that case i thunk my application should be accepted, everything else was fine, i think, so here's hoping and keep your fingers crossed guys!

I just need clarification on the last sentence in your post, who will issue me a letter etc?

Sorry I meant CIC will issue a letter.

 

[Lady_Ashka]

Aah, so if they reject the restoration they send a letter that says what? That one can still apply for visitor? (Hope so, though you actually calmed me down about what eill happen to my application and so i worry much less)

Sorry to say but they will ask you to leave the country but you can apply for visitor visa anytime (I think but not sure).

Hi,

Is anyone aware of the reason for the delay in processing for WP extension ? It is now almost 120 days and is getting increased day by day.
I have applied for WP ext on July 1st and will soon be in implied status. In case of rejection of WP ext , do we need to leave immediately as my TRV will also expire with WP ? Is it better to apply for TRV separately in adv ?

 

[Lady_Ashka]

Sorry to say but they will ask you to leave the country but you can apply for visitor visa anytime (I think but not sure).

Ok so basically do i have to leave the country or i can just then apply for visitor status and stay as visitor? Or is it safer to apply for visitor right after they reject the extension application (if)? This is what i am trying to establish:what is the safer way to ensure i will be able to stay in canada in case they rejectmy application:apply for visitor or first apply for restoration of status and only in case they rejrct apply for visitor?i wouldnt work, then, of course, but i would be able to stay wiyh my partner, which is my priority (and of course i am counting on the extension approval, if you are saying the employer id should not be a problem; i was also wondering, what are thr most typical reasons for rejections of such wp extension applications?)

Many students have applied for PG WP plus CIC introduces new rules that a spouse can apply for open work permit while waiting for PR application to be processing which is one of the reasons why there is a backlog and processing time is 120 days.

1. You can legally work while you are on implied status until you stay in Canada and get a decision on your application
2. You could have applied for TRV along with the WP. Now, you have to wait till you get a new WP and then apply for TRV based on that.
3. If CIC rejects your WP, they will give you 90 days to restore your status - which could be visitor or foreign worker.

 

[CanEEPR]

Thanks a lot !! it really help. Sorry, one more query:
What does it mean : restore your status within 90 days ? does it mean that I can reapply a fresh for other type of Visa/WP or leave the country in 90 days?

I am not sure about visitor status. So, I suggest to call CIC in the morning to make sure if you can just apply now rather than later on.

Usually CIC rejects an application if a person does not meet all the requirements, does not pay required fees, does not upload all required documents, provides wrong information etc.
