Spousal sponsorship and owp/ restoration of status

[Luckkyy Lucy]

Hi there!

We're in the process of applying through Common-law sponsorship and the OWP. I was on implied status and just received my refusal for extension on my work permit. I need to restore my status and wondering if I do this through the PR application or online then apply for the OWP on paper through sponsorship. Also will I need to restore as a visitor or worker?

Sorry, it's complicated, thanks in advanced!

You need to apply for restoration first, and have it approved, before you can apply for the OWP.

If you want to apply for the OWP along with your PR app, that means you have to wait until the restoration application is complete. You could submit the PR application first, but you wouldn't be eligible for the OWP until you'd reached "approval in principal" stage in the PR application.

Ok, so this mean I would have to apply for restoration of my visitor status or worker status?

You would have your status restored to visitor.
