Unfortunately you currently do not have worker status right now and cannot work for your current employer. Since your extension was refused and your WP already expired, you don't have authorization to work or be employed right now.

Having applied for restoration of status and a new work permit for a different employer, until you receive your new work permit, you can't also start working for your new employer. Nor can you continue working for your current employer - you don't have worker status right now. I do emphatize with your situation, hopefully your new work permit comes in soon.

/good luck...

Hello,
If someone can help me I would appreciate!

My 1 Year post grad work permit is about to expire (in 3 days) My employer applied for LMO an today I got refusal.Reason was "low wage" compared to Canadian workers.I have also applied for work permit extension 15 days before my visa expires but I am assuming it will be denied without valid LMO.
I would like to apply for restoration of the status once my work permit gets rejected,before that my employer will increase salary and reapply for LMO.
My questions are
1. Am I on a right way?
2.Do I have to wait until my work permit gets rejected and then apply for restoration or can I apply before that?
2.How long the process of restoration lasts?
3.What is the percentage of getting my status restored?

Any other advise?

Thank you in advance!
