Restoration of status

[Ded2022]

Anyone knows how long takes restoration of status and open work permit application? Can’t find processing times anywhere on the cic website. Any kind of information would be highly appreciated. Thanks

On what basis are you eligible for a open work permit ?
Open work permits are only in specific situations

Hey thanks for your reply. I'm a spouse of a PNP nominee. My spouse holds a valid employer-specific work permit.

I did a restoration of status application in November 28, I got approved for the OWP on April 01

Thank you for your reply. May I ask what were you eligible for that they approved your OWP? I’m very worried about my situation. I used to have an employer specific WP. My spouse has an employer-specific WP, and has applied for PR. I was told I can apply for OWP and I did before the first WP expired but I didn’t pay $100 fee and they refused, therefore I lost my status. I stopped working and sent a restoration application but I’m worried if they will approve or not this time. My spouse is a Province Nominee, has a WP valid until 2023, and I’m the dependent on her PR application. Would that be sufficient for restoration and approval of OWP? Thanks.
