Hi,

I have applied for my restoration as visitor on 17th February. I haven't receive anything so far. Does anybody has similar timeline for restoration as visitor. Please share yours timeline.
Thanks
 
Hi. What is the difference between restoration and extending TRV? Let me know please. I have applied today to renew my TRV which expired back in March 31st. But I used extension only. And also, it takes 7 days or 68 days? Let me know please!
 
Restoration is what you have to apply for if you are in Canada, your status in Canada has expired and you didn't apply to extend your status in Canada before your status expired.

If you are in Canada and your status expired March 31st, then your extension application is going to be refused. You don't qualify for an extension. You have to apply to restore your status since you're out of status in Canada.
 
Hi

So If they cancel it does it mean I have to pay again or just change it?
 
IRCC would either reject your application as incomplete (no restoration fee included) OR ask you to pay the restoration fee, and then process your application further.
 
When ever they get to your application. As of now, they are working on application received on Jan 29 as per IRCC processing time http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/index.asp .

Ideal thing for you to do is either amend the application, and include restoration fee with explanation or withdraw this application and make restoration application, as you don't much time. By the time they get to your application, you would be way past 90 day restoration period.

Hi

According to the website it says it take 7 business days and last updated on 14th April 2017. So they are working on applications received on April 14th not Jan 29th.
 
Check with IRCC. On CIC website, it has separate dropdown for "Visitor Visa Extension". If you already held Visitor Visa, and applied to extend it, I assume you would fall in this category.

Better to check with IRCC (call them) before it gets too late.

Hi. I have already extended my Visitor visa 3 times before and it is always Visitor Visa (In Canada) not the extension.

Thanks

This thread is about Restoration of Status as a visitor, i.e. a person who is in Canada illegally and has applied to restore their legal status. You have a valid PGWP and have applied for a new TRV; your situation has absolutely nothing to do with this thread.

I was just trying to ask few questions!

And by asking your questions on a thread that has nothing to do with your situation, you are receiving wrong information.
