Are you eligible to reapply for PGWP? Reconsideration? You can only be part-time your last semester and if field placement was last semester then not eligible.

Get a good lawyer but you are without status in Canada so need to restore to visitor or student (if that is even possible).
I was full time all through my studies. The two courses I failed were retaken after my studies because the school only offers the courses in January.

I have been on google looking for how to apply for restoration but I don’t seem to find any information. Also I’m confused on what step to take next:

A. Apply for restoration
B. Raise webform for reconsideration
C. Apply for reconsideration/ reapply for PGWP.

Is the above correct pls ? I am already working on getting supporting documents from my school.

The restore status wordings is common in ALL refusal. It doesn't mean that you actually can restore back to a student or visitor status.

It's similar to visitor visa refusal, the refusal always said that you can apply again. It doesn't mean that you will get approval in the next application.
Thanks for your input , do you know what step I can take at this moment ? Do I just have to raise a webform for reconsideration straight up ?

Hello , I’m actually in same situation with your sister right now .. I have part time after my study completion to take two of my failed courses. Then I took my field placement which was considered full time.
I was told in the rejection letter to apply for restoration. I’m confused and in a really bad place at the moment.

Can you please put me through on how you went about your restoration. I’ll appreciate any support at this trying time . Thank you and wish you luck as well
We applied for reconsideration via web form and it was still refused.
My sister had to do celpip, after she got her results we applied for a post graduate work permit. On the form there was a portion that said restore your status as a worker and apply for a new work permit. Total fees was almost $500. We got a letter of explanation from her school explaining why she has per time courses because it was her final semester, she also attached her letter of explanation to her application. We are still waiting on IRCC's decision. Hope this helps you.
