Hi, I’d applied for PGWP on 12th February 2023. However, my study permit had expired on 31st Jan 2023. I didn’t realise until now that I did not maintain my status in Canada for 12 days. My PGWP application is still under review. Can I apply for status restoration now, even though it is past 3 months?
Also, I have been working part time all along. Will it impact my restoration request?
I’m considering other options as well, such as applying for an express entry or enrolling in another course for 6-8 months. Would any of this be helpful?

If you did not apply restoration along with PGWP it cannot be done after the fact.
Wait to see if you receive a PFL for not maintaining status for now

After applying PGWP you cannot enrol in a course & to apply for PR, you need a valid Work Permit

My university’s immigration consultant has advised me to apply for the status restoration and attach the payment receipt through webform. Will I be able to apply for restoration again if this method doesn’t work?
