Please see our response below:
Ifthe applicant applies for a visitor record on the same day of refusal for their work permit extension, he/she does not need to
pay for restoration fees as they are not applying to restore their temporary resident status to their previously held status as a
worker (temporary resident with the authorization to work). Regardless of the date of submission for the visitor record
application, the applicant must pay the applicable fees for the application.
Ifthe applicant applies for restoration of status, they can only restore their status to that ofa temporary resident and to the
authorization they held immediately prior. The applicant has 90 days from the date of the refusal notice to apply for restoration, if
otherwise eligible. Restoration fees are required from the date of the refusal notice if an application for restoration is submitted
Thank you,

Thave a query : An applicant applied for a work permit which was refused. The refusal letter stats *Your temporary resident
status expired on February 06, 2025. You can apply for restoration within 90 days*,
Question : Ifan applicant applies for the visitor record on the same day of reflisal which is February 06, 2025, does he/she
need to pay restoration fees ?
We have a belief that ifa visitor record is applied on the same day of refusal, there isn't a need to pay restoration
fees. Restoration foes would be requited if Visitor record is applied on next day (for eg, February 07, 2024 in this case ).
Kindly suggest ifthis is correct ?
Best Wishes,
ae
