In August my friend applied online for refugee status. She was given a date for interview but never attended as she was intending on going back to her country after all for family reasons. Today she received notification that her application to remain in Canada as a temporary resident has been approved. Can someone explain what this means? Does that mean she's now legally allowed to work in Canada? She's a bit confused.

If she skipped her interview she needs to talk to a lawyer.

But how come this has been approved?
I don't know. There's no temporary resident application as part of a refugee claim. She should be extremely concerned about having skipped the interview.
