PUBLIC POLICY: CERTAIN FOREIGN NATIONALS CAN RESTORE LOST STATUS

Effective January 1, 2021, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada is renewing a temporary public policy that provides more time for temporary residents to apply to restore their legal status in Canada.

Canada recognizes that many temporary residents in Canada have been affected by worldwide health- and travel-related restrictions, and may need to remain in Canada for longer than they anticipated.

Under the public policy, visitors, students and workers whose valid temporary status expired, or expires, between January 30, 2020, and May 31, 2021, will have until August 31, 2021, to restore their status. (an exemption from the requirement to apply for restoration within 90 days of losing temporary resident status)
