you can send your WP/visa application to Seattle or Buffalo, but you are already out of status if your application for visit extension was refused..You may also process the application at your country of origin.

You are out of status and you have not sent your application for restoration. Anyway, I am not sure how it would work in your case. If you have sent your application to Seattle or Buffalo before your status expired and then sent an application for extension citing waiting for the WP/visa as reason for the extension, you might have had a chance. I think you can go anywhere in Canada.

THEY SEND ME A REFUSAL LETTER WITH THIS STATEMENT
In reaching a decision, an officer considers several factors, which include the applicant's:
1.
Reason for original entry and reason for requested extension;
2.
Ties to country of permanent residence, including: employment and study commitments; family ties and responsibilities; status (citizenship or immigration status);
3.
Financial means for the extended stay and return home;
4.
Travel and identity documents;
5.
Probability to leave Canada at the end of authorized stay.
After considering all the circumstances of your case, I am not satisfied that you meet the
requirements of the Act and Regulations.

So which was checked? This is a form letter. What reason (if it's okay to ask) did you put on your request for extension? I am not sure if this would work:

Put your application together, check document checklist as to what supporting papers need to be sent to Seattle and then send the app plus the fee of course and also attach a letter from your prospective employer in support of your application. Then send an application for restoration to CPC-Vegreville. Did you attach the marked pages of your passport when you sent your extension app?

Sorry, some people need to work too :) Anyway, as I said on my previous post, put together the application for the WP/visa (to Seattle), then apply for restoration (to Vegreville).

Let your prospective employer write a letter in support of your application (maybe you can do this better; sing your own praises so s/he could get the idea). Some LCPs were able to obtain the visa without any interview. In case you are called for interview then for sure you need a US visa (compounding your problems because right now you are out of status). What's wrong if you apply from your country? BTW, where are you from if you don't mind?
