How much does Restoration of temporary resident status cost and how long does it take?

Government fees and processing times can change and may differ by stream, country and family size. Confirm the live fee and processing-time controls on www.canada.ca immediately before paying or planning a deadline.

Practical order

1. 1

   Record the temporary status held, its exact expiry, passport validity and every work, study or visitor condition that may have ended.

2. 2

   Do not work or study after the applicable authorization ends unless the current official rules clearly preserve that authorization for the recorded filing facts.

3. 3

   Use the current IRCC instructions to verify whether restoration is still available and which temporary document or condition request must accompany it.

4. 4

   Prepare the factual explanation, passport and prior permit or visitor record, proof of current circumstances and every item on the current account-generated checklist.

5. 5

   Complete the restoration and related temporary-status application in your own account, pay the current government fees directly and save the full confirmation.

6. 6

   Remain within the activity limits described by IRCC, monitor the account, answer requests by their dates and follow the approval or refusal instructions exactly.
