PROCESSING TIME FOR RESTORATION OF STATUS/WORK PERMIT

[kkincanada]

Does anyone know what the current processing time is for restoration of status as a Work Permit? Does it coincide with the current work permit processing time?

I am lost as there is absolutely no information on this, and I am looking for help from someone facing the same experience or someone who has had their status restored recently to share their experience. Let's gather here and help each other.

Why did you apply for restoration of status? What happened

 

[kkincanada]

My SOWP extension was refused, so I had to file for restoration. I don't have a valid TRV, so couldn't flagpole, so the only option was to restore. The PR application is also in progress, which is all stages complete, but it's not moving to finalize stage. I am confused about whether the restoration application is affecting the finalization of the PR application. The restoration application is almost at the current work permit processing time limit, but I haven't heard anything about it yet. I cannot work, and this infinite wait is a really frustrating experience with no end in sight. Anyone with a similar situation, please help and shed some light on your experience.

Hi Everyone,
one of my friend applied for Restoration with PGWP, its been 6 months did not get any response. the worst thing is that he lost access to his account and not able to recover the pasword as he lost the passcode also. now he is not able to recover the password and not able to link his account.

he raised couple of web forms and everytime he gets that all the requirement documents were submitted and nothing to do anything from his side. now applied for GCMS notes and waiting for the response.
just wondering is there anyone else in the same situation. and what to do ?


Thanks in advance

yeah, it's really bad out there with them processing applications randomly. There is no sequence at all, I am waiting for my restoration, nearing 3.5 months now. If they don't have a process to complete these applications in time, then they should stop people from applying for restoration as waiting without work inside Canada is of no help, it just keeps adding to the stress with a big black hole process.

@kkincanada? Have you received any

@Rahulhadiya Did you receive any update yet? I see your BOWP was refused, so i assume your PR is also in progress, is that correct? if yes, where has it progressed so far while you have been waiting for restoration?

So you filed for restoration to worker and then reapplied for SOWP? What did you show that you are eligible for SOWP?

Can somebody please help me with understanding Work permit processing time lately. I submitted my application on 21st December 2023. It’s been almost 6 months since I applied and no progress made yet. I haven’t applied for any extension, I have just applied for what I’m entitled for. I’m struggling to get an update on my application. My employer is now getting a bit agitated because it’s rare for an application to take this long. I got my gcms notes as well, no progress after background check completion.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

This is the way of the IRCC, slow and no updates. No accountability on their behalf so no real responsibility to get things done in a timely manner. Good luck.

What type of work permit? This is thread is for restoration so did your work permit expire? You also posted under PGWP extension via paper. Trying to understand context since assume you are within Canada.

Hello, thanks for your reply. I was entitled to get a 3 years work permit but got only for 2 years 2 months because my passport was expiring early. Now I have applied for work permit for the remaining months I’m entitled for. Technically it should have taken only 100 days for complete process (based on official website). It has been 6 months now since it’s in progress. My gcms notes show background check was completed 4 months back yet no update on my online profile. I’m struggling to understand what is stopping them to process my application.
Moreover all my travel documents have expired, I need to travel urgently as there’s a medical emergency back home.
