I have a friend who is here on Visitor visa and has applied for a work permit from within Canada based on the Public policy allowing visitors to apply for work permits
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/service-delivery/coronavirus/temporary-residence/work-permit/visitor-work-permits.html
While the application for Work permit is in process now, his visitor visa expires in 10 days.
1. We know that he needs to stay in Canada till the decision is made on Work permit application but the question is that can he apply for a visitor record right now? If his application gets refused he would atleast have an maintained status as a visitor till the decision is made on visitor record application?
2. Or incase the work permit application is refused, should he then apply for a restoration of visitor status given he is still in the90-days period at that point?
3. Would putting in two applications, an existing one for work permit and another for a visitor record be a good decision or should we go in for restoration of visitor status after his work permit application is refused, if it is.
