Hey Bro,
so at least we got caught and now in the same boat.
my nomination letter was valid until Jan. end 2015 so i applied for PR in first week of Jan. 2015. My work permit was expiring in mid-feb 2015. i applied for work permit extension in first week of Feb 2015. I got my AOR on 15 April 2015, called CIC to update my status, but they said my work permit is refused...(bcz nomination letter was expired)...now i got AOR, so any ideas and suggestions please
What should i do? apply with restoration fee (200) and bridging work permit or work permit extension? will i be getting now open work permit or NO? OR do i need to ask my province for issuing me another extension letter? Do i need to stop working? i didnt get the letter from CIC yet, but they said i ll receive letter shortly,,,and that i need to follow the steps:(
For your questions: You have to create a reference number in your CIC account, answer whatever applies to your situation, they ll give you automatic check list...

i also apply for work permit extension last jan.. i have nominee certificate and done with the medical also.
my work permit expired last jan 2 and now i receive from cic that my application was refused...
i like ti have an appeal why they refuse?
also in the letter i need to apply for restoration.

please help, can i call them or email them why even i submitted all the docs even my work permit expire within 4 months and got rejected?

i can apply for restoration but they to work still for expenses but according to restoration procedures, you are not allowed to work until permit is restored.

is there anyone experienced the same thing... thanks

You have to stop working immediately since your extension is refused. If you continue working - you'll be working illegally and this will make it extremely difficult, if not impossible, to restore your status.

Yes stop work immediately but when the letter from cic is received so that to show it to the employer to keep your full time job on hold ...they said on phone you can work until you receive the letter

thank you. i did stop working...
in my cic account. they requested me to upload the pnp and supporting letter.
i just upload my pnp certificate while waiting for the support letter.
when i tried to upload, the portal is close and i can no longer upload any docs in mycic account so itried to call cic help line and they told me to send the docs in operations centre in ottawa. i did send before the deadline.
when i called today at cic, hey said they never receive it hence the refusal..
they said i should write a letter for reconsideration or apply for the restoration of status...
i will try first the appeal and if they were not, responding, i will go through resto procedures

i am gonna go for OSC operration support centre. because i believe if you have received your medical then you are eligible to apply for open work permit . but some how cic says that if ur nominee stipulate any conditions like specific employer or NOC code then u cantt ask for open WP... but my counter answer was that why on cic website it says u can apply for open bridging WP if u are a P.R applicants..

does any one know whts the procesing time for review by OSC - operation support centre?

nothing else can b done...only ask your pnp office to send you the guidelines fr extension of wp...get that letter and apply online fr wp as well as restoration...your employer has to offer you full time job as well as permanent job...and employer has to deposit $230

hello frends, as far as i know u have to go thru questionary again, creat account and according to ur answer u hv to upload ur docs.

mine is to upload

--form 5710
-- itinary travl
-- passport pages
--form 5802
-- photo
--medical
--pnp certi
--employer decl. form
fees restortion 200
wp 155
= 355

the basic concept i found u can not ask for BRID.OPEN WP unless u r CEC applicants..
if u got nominne tht says employer name and NOC code xxxx in support letter tht means u hv to work for specific employer(closed WP)
