Hi, guys.

My common law partner and I came here in Canada with Student Permit + Open Work Permit (I'm the owp holder). She just graduated from her studies, and currently working as assistant manager in a pet store. We applied for the her PGWP and OWP extension for myself upon completion of her studies last May 2023. Today, we got the result which is her PGWP got approved, but the extension of my OWP got refused. We don't know what to do, and we cannot afford lawyers/consultant nowadays because of financial emergencies we had to attend back in our country. Can somebody please help us on what to do next. We're panicking because our TRV will expire on July 30th this year.

Thank you so much, I hope you guys can see this.

What was the refusal reason?

You'll need to stop working immediately, apply to restore your status and reapply for the work permit.
