Good evening,
I'm hoping someone might be able to assist my wife and I in a difficult situation.
Quick brief,
1. Came to Vancouver from UK on working holiday visas expired end march 2019.
2. Got jobs, i received provincial nomination by paper application. Sent off to IRCC in August 2018, expected completion March 2020 according to IRCC.
3. Wife pregnant august 2018(gave birth in Vancouver in April 2019.
4. Applied for bridging open work permits for my wife and I December 2018 to Edmonton case processing centre.
5. Received my 1 year work permit April 8th 2019, no sign of wife's.
6. Spoke with IRCC multiple times, the application was sent recorded delivery so we know they've received it, everything in order but long story cut short, they've lost the application, and in conclusion told her to apply for Restoration of temporary resident status as she is currently on implied status due to expired work permit. Unsure how long this process takes but we've just had our first child and she is supposed to be on Maternity leave but can't claim benefits until she can extend her Social insurance number.
So my query is, before we apply for Restoration of temp resident status, is there any way we can go for a weekend in the US and take all our paper work with us including all of my PR application stuff and re enter Canada and potentially obtain a work permit for my wife in our current situation?
We've both completely lost trust in IRCC and short of hiring a lawyer to sort this out for us, I just wonder if a flagpole might be the fastest, albeit frowned upon solution?
Many thanks in advance and if you have any questions about our process that might help you out please do ask.
Henry
