Hey guys just a update
I got my restoration and extension of work permit today. Paper application same employer applied on Feb 8.
 
Hi,

I've just found this forum while waiting for my application (SOWP).

Here's my timeline (In Canada - Online application - Quebec applicants)

Applied on 10 May
Approved on 31 May (I received 2 notifications by email for updates and new message from CIC)
Papers received by mail already (within the same week :D)

Therefore, the waiting time was 22 days for my case. I'm really surprised since I thought the whole restoration process would take 3 months.

I included in my application all the required documents as much as possible and a detailed explanation letter to clarify my situation with justifications.

Good luck, everyone!

Same processing time as applying work permit again. Like 3-4 months.

its actually depends on the validity of your passport, but 2 years validity of WP is the maximum even if your passport is valid for more than 2 years
