IRCC has announced a new policy that provides temporary residents with more time to apply for a restoration of status. They would now have until December 31, 2020 to apply to restore their status in Canada, with an assumption that the applicant is meeting the requirements of the type of status they are applying to restore. This policy applies to former work, study permit and TRV holders who are presently in Canada and whose status expired after January 30, 2020.
