did you get invited to apply on Express Entry? Meaning you have an ITA or do you have an expression of interest from a province? If on Express Entry, Restore for a bridging open work permit before Feb 15th together with your acknowledgement of receipt letter for the PR application which you will get once you submit and pay the fees.

No, not right. The PR app has zero to do with status. You need to apply for Restoration ASAP.

Not true. Submitting a PR application on Express Entry would qualify him/her for a bridging open work permit. That would be a good opportunity to correct the previous deficiency which was refused since he/she probably submitted an application that was missing an LMIA where one was required and got refused. Just guessing... Restoration for a work permit with no basis makes no sense. Better restore to a bridging open if that opportunity has presented itself.

It is true and as OP is out of status, they do not and will not qualify for a BOWP. OP asked if applying for PR would be a way to restore their status. It isn't. They need to apply separately to do that and their only option for Restoration is as a visitor.

You can't restore to a bridging open work permit. It's simply not possible You must be holding a valid work permit at the time you submit the BOWP application.

You guys are right, I was thinking about bridging open as being same as any open work permit. But there are a lot of restrictions
