Subject: restoration of study visa
  Hi,
I have been an international student in Canada since august 2006, but last semester I received some bad advice and decided to not re apply for my student visa which expired last July. I was all ready on a one year work permit and was under the impression that it would safely allow me to work and go to school without threatening my status. I decided to re apply for my study visa the day school started in early September after re-reading the wording of the terms of my stay in Canada, as it seemed quite strange to be able to do two things on one visa. Unfortunately the processing time had jumped from 4 weeks to 3 months. I take full responsibility for this situation and would never knowingly do anything to risk my status as a student. By the time I found out that my application had been denied due to unauthorized studying I had already left the country visiting my boyfriend who is studying abroad in Tokyo. I was told by one of the MPs in BC, to re apply for restoration on the spot. But last week it came to my attention that restoration cannot be applied for outside of Canada so I am debating cancelling my application to re apply for within the country as I am now back in Canada...?
My questions are; is this a hopeless case? I received these news on the 15th of december, can I stay in Canada while my restoration is in process (90 days) even though my work permit expires on the 2nd of feb?
Thanks a lot.
Regards/ Malin.
