Hi,

My Work Permit and Visa was Expired on 30-Sep-2016, I have applied for Extension on 29-Sep-2016. Today I got Rejection Letter. Can I stay in Canada and Re-Apply for Work Permit.

Thanks.

You're out of status in Canada now and will need to stop working immediately.

You can certainly re-apply for the work permit if you qualify. You will also need to apply to restore your status since you are now in Canada without status.

NO. Paying Salary implies you are working.

Then what's the way out for Survival, without salary.

Thanks.
You will have to survive on your savings. Alternatively, you can always return to your home country and work there until a new work permit is approved.

Doing any kind of work or receiving any payments while you are out of status in Canada is illegal and will jeopardize your future in Canada.

1. You would be restoring your work permit (as long as you meet the requirements to restore your work permit). It can take up to 4 months to process a restoration application.
2. Extension.

It's certainly possible it would take the same time as a work permit - but we've also seen people here wait 4 months.

What you do is up to you. Good luck.

Hi,

When my status is being restored , will i be covered under the Canada Medical.

Thanks.
Most probably not during the time. You won't be able to renew your health card if you don't have a work permit

Hi ,

I got my status restored , now in My permit it says My employment Location is Calgary, and in Conditions it says Not Authorized to work in any location other than stated.
Does that mean I have to work only in Calgary.

Thanks.
