Success Story: From Refused Work Permit to Approved Study Permit in Canada

The Applicant had been refused their Post Graduation Work Permit when they first reached out to us, leaving them in a vulnerable situation. The next steps were unclear as restoration can only be done to the status one held previously (i.e, that of a worker after applying for the PGWP). However, our expert, Mr. Jatinder Singh, the RCIC at Verge Immigration Services Inc. had a legal strategy to counter this situation and discussed it with the client during their first consultation.

At Verge Immigration Services Inc., we carefully reviewed the case and determined that the best pathway forward was a Restoration of Status as a Student alongwith restoration as a worker. We prepared a detailed application that explained the Applicant’s circumstances and clearly outlined their intention to continue studies in Canada.

The process wasn’t easy — refusals can often shake a person’s confidence — but with patience, strategy, and precise preparation, we were able to restore the Applicant’s status. Recently, they received the In-Canada Approval Letter confirming that their study permit is valid.

At Verge Immigration Service’s Winnipeg Office, we solved the problem of the client who was living in Toronto and worked with us remotely. A creative legal strategy combined with a patient client led to a wonderful result and the client can now resume their dream of obtaining permanent residence in Canada eventually.
