Good day,
Thank you for contacting the Immigration Representatives [requester] note that this mailbox is intended for general guidance and does not provide responses to case-specific
inquiries but have provided the following information as guidance. Ifyou have case specific questions about a file, you
are encouraged to submit the IRCC Web form.
Please see our response to your question.
Please note that we cannot provide case specific instructions, the following is general guidance on the restoration
process
Normally, if an application for an extension of temporary resident status under section R181 is refused, the foreign
national has 90 days from the date of the refusal notice to apply for restoration, if otherwise eligible (link). However, a
foreign national with an approved visitor record does not have a lost status to restore. Note that visitors are no longer
eligible to apply for a work permit from inside Canada (link).
Canada ends temporary public policy allowing visitors to apply for work permits from within the country - Canada.ca
Thank you kindly,
[requester]
