As an international student, worker, or visitor in Canada, it is essential to maintain your temporary status throughout your stay. However, sometimes you may inadvertently lose your status due to unforeseen circumstances, such as failing to apply for an extension of your status before it expires or having your application for an extension denied. In such cases, you may still have the option to restore your status in Canada.
Restoring your status means that you can continue to live, work, or study in Canada under your original authorization. However, it''s important to note that you can only restore your status to what you held before it expired. You cannot change your permit until you restore your status and original authorization. After restoration, if you're eligible, you may be able to apply for a different permit.
Eligibility for Restoring Your Status
To be eligible to restore your status, you must meet the following requirements:
Process for Restoring Your Status
The process for restoring your status in Canada is outlined by Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) and involves the following steps:
It is important to note that restoring your status does not guarantee approval of your application. The IRCC will consider several factors, including your compliance with the conditions of your permit, your intention to leave Canada at the end of your stay, and your ability to meet the requirements of a temporary resident. If your restoration application is approved, you can continue to live, work, or study in Canada under your original authorization. However, if your application is refused, you must leave Canada immediately.
