Maintaining valid immigration status in Canada is imperative for all foreign nationals. There are, however, instances where individuals may unintentionally lose their status due to various reasons such as missed deadlines or incomplete applications. Restoration of status is a critical process that allows individuals to regain their legal standing without the need to leave Canada. This provision is essential for those who wish to continue their studies, work, or stay as visitors after losing their status.
Several scenarios necessitate the application for restoration of status in Canada, including:
When you apply for restoration, it means you’ve lost your permission to work or study. You can’t work or go to school until you get your status back and receive a new permit.
You can’t restore your status when entering Canada. If you leave and come back, you might be seen as trying to enter again, which could make you unable to enter Canada due to not following the rules before. If an officer finds out you left during the restoration process, your application will be denied, and you won’t get your money back.
You can only restore your status and permission to what you had before losing it. For example, if you lost your study permit, you can only apply to restore your study permit, not a work permit. You must restore your permission to study.
If you had a study permit and lost it, you can apply in Canada to get it back. You can also apply for a work permit if you meet the requirements. Your work permit application will be processed if your study permit is approved.
If you lost your work permit, you can apply in Canada to restore it within 90 days. You can also apply for a study permit if you meet the requirements. Your study permit application will be reviewed after your work permit and restoration applications are approved.
If you’re a visitor and lost your status, you can apply to get it back in Canada. If you’re eligible for a work or study permit, you can apply for one when restoring your status. You need to pay for the study or work permit in addition to the restoration fee, unless you’re exempt.
If your TRP expired, you can’t restore it. You must apply for a new one and show that you’re a genuine temporary resident and meet all the requirements.
Applicants must continue to meet the initial requirements of their stay in Canada. This means that if they were initially allowed to study or work, they must still qualify under those conditions.
Applicants must remain in Canada while their restoration application is being processed. Leaving Canada during this time can result in the application being denied.
Please note that the requirements for restoration of status are subject to change. This list provides a general overview, and you may be required to submit additional documentation or meet other criteria.
