Hi,
Need your suggestions here please
A student submitted an application to extend their study permit before the original permit expired, ensuring they maintained implied status at the time. However, the application was refused due to incomplete documentation. Following this refusal, the student acted within the prescribed 90-day period and applied for restoration of status and a new study permit.
In the restoration application, the student addressed the requirement for a Provincial Attestation Letter (PAL) and included a letter of explanation, citing the regulatory exception that a PAL is not required when a student is extending studies at the same Designated Learning Institution (DLI) and at the same level of study.
IRCC returned the application without processing it, stating that the PAL exemption was not accepted in the context of a restoration application, despite the fact that the student was restoring status to continue studies in the same program and institution.
Due to this return and the time taken in communication, the student has now exceeded the 90-day restoration period, resulting in the loss of eligibility to apply for restoration from within Canada. What’s the best way forward here?
