I read my last reply and found it not quite clear. I would like to edit it.

The process is:

If you overstayed, that means your visa has been expired and you are still in Canada, you have two options:

1. Apply for restoration IN CANADA within three months after visa expired.

2. If u don’t apply for restoration within three months after visa expired, go back to your home country, wait the 6-month penalty passed, then apply again. The 6-month penalty is stated in the Immigration Law to punish your overstay, which means no approval to any visa application in the 6-month period. After 6 months, you are all good.

Btw, Always have a explain letter

Hi is the 6-month penalty from the time the previous permit expired or 6 months since you left Canada?
