Has anyone or does anyone know if you can go to the border during your restoration period to apply for a work visa with a new employer? I know that they will not renew a work visa with the same employer at the border but my husband has previously changed his work visa for a new employer by going "round the flag pole" and just wondered if you can do this during your restoration period, or is there a big risk that they refuse you entry because you have gone into restoration? The reason I ask is that I have just checked the processing times of visas at CIC which is 37 days and they are only on applications submitted mid May!!!
Restoration of work visa at the border

I did it a few days ago, same thing that when you are applying for a new visa in the border. (you have to bring the LMO, documents that verify that you can fit the position, such as resumes, bachelor degree, etc. and letter from the company indicating your salary, position, time of the contract, type of contract, etc.Liubov said:
Good luck!
You can apply for restoration/change of status as a visitor for now to buy some time for you and your children while waiting for the LMO. Once the LMO comes you can drive to the border and get the WP (closed Wp for your husband and OWP for you). You have to make sure that Vegreville receives the package before the 90 day restoration period is over.
Or you can leave and exit Canada and come back as visitors but considering you have the whole family with you, would be a bit too much.
