Hi Vhardmase, yes it was finally approved on November 2nd. They DID NOT email me about the approval, I only knew because I called them.

Best of luck to everyone!

Yup their average processing time is 6 month but in some cases they were giving faster, depends upon the case and the officer who is processing it.

I applied restoration and work permit extension with new employer same time on 25 July 2015.
Application done online.

Last week called to CIC and the officer told that I can keep working previous employer and she is going to send message to another service that they send me email.
Now today I called again to know what is going with my restoration or extension status, CIC officer told she can't tell me anything about status.

Don't know what to do sitting and waiting more than 4 month.

This is the thing. They never tell you the exact time how much they gonna take to process. Its been more than 6 months now I haven't got my decision. The maximum time for restoration is 6 months which have been passed but they still says in process.

I'd like to share my experience.
I submitted my work permit restoration on Aug 11, 2015.

Then, I went to the border yesterday (Emerson, MB) to ask can I get a work permit at the border.
I am from a visa exempt country, and I didn't leave Canada, just drive slow then turn to the CBSA office.

I ask can I get a work permit when I am in restoration status at the border.
They say I have to provide the "current job offer" to get a work permit, but they can't give me any guarantee.
Besides, my employer compliance fee receipt is too old (the date is August), I have to call CIC to check did CIC use the receipt or not, the receipt is one time use only.

I don't have any "current job offer"... I already stop working for 5 months...., so I didn't get work permit at the border.

When I came back home, I got an e-mail.
It's CIC's agent replying my question for how long I have to wait for my application.
They said "Currently, your file is still in process and there is no maximum timeframe to finalize an application." :mad: :mad:
Ok, continue waiting............... :'( :'(
