To regain their status, temporary residents now have until summer 2021

In order to restore their citizenship status, foreign national staff, students and tourists now have until 31 August to apply.

Temporary immigrants are granted another opportunity by the Canadian immigration department to prolong their stay in Canada.

According to the Canadian government’s website, temporary residents who had valid status on or after January 30, 2020 but whose status expired on or before May 31, 2021 will have until August 31, 2021 to apply to regain their status.

This is an expansion of a public policy that was initially only effective until December 31, 2020, which went into effect on July 14. It affects employees, students, and tourists who, when their status expired, were in Canada. Normally, to regain their status, they will have 90 days to apply.

Applicants must have been in Canada with legal status between January 30, 2020 and May 31, 2021, in order to be eligible for the new regulation. Since entry, they would have stayed in Canada, and during this time they lost their temporary status. To restore their temporary resident status, they will need to have paid the application processing fees.

The policy also applies to work permit holders with job opportunities to work during the review of their application. This may refer to their application for work permits, or their restoration. If, under this regulation, temporary workers are accepted, they may be permitted to begin their employment while waiting for a decision to regain their status or obtain a work permit.

Foreign nationals must have requested an employer-specific work permit and restoration application and charged all fees in order to be eligible for this temporary work authorization. They must have been in possession of a valid work permit 12 months before the date on which they submitted their application for restoration. They expect to work for the employer or occupation specified in the Employment Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) or the LMIA-exempt job offer included in their application for a work permit. In order to apply for public policy, they filled out an IRCC web form and demanded that the exemption be extended before a decision is reached on their application for a work permit.

Here is a hypothetical example of someone who can apply, based on the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) website, for an interim work permit.

On December 30, 2020, Min’s permit expired and she dropped out of state. Within 90 days of losing her status, on March 1, 2021, she then submitted a restoration and work permit application. As a result of public policy, she is allowed to work while the IRCC reviews her application for a work permit.

In this hypothetical case, however, it would not apply.

Oscar is a work permit-exempt worker who, with a job offer, restores his status and demands a work permit. However, in the twelve months preceding the date on which he presented his application, he did not have a valid work permit. He would, therefore, not be qualified for an interim work permit.
