Hello, my case is same. Can you tell me what happened in your case? I filed my closed work permit extension in may 23, I received request for additional document in sep 23, I replied back with document within 2 days, last work permit expired in October 23. The multiple entry stamp on my passport is valid till April 24. I’m currently on implied status and I have to go to US next week. I can return to Canada as long as passport stamp is valid.Can you tell me if there is a way for me to continue working upon return to Canada or have to refilé the extension?I appreciate this lengthy and informative post , but I want to be sure if I'm eligible to apply on Poe , since my work permit is refused , I know I must submit a restoration application . I can apply within Canada but the 5 months is really long time and it's really hard to survive , i was thinking of traveling to the USA and come back after few days since my parents live in the US . After that apply at the airport for Poe . I'm visa exempt and only require esta and ETA to travel . My question is , can I apply at Poe ?
