My work permit expired less than 90 days ago. Can I apply for another work permit?

Yes, you can apply to restore your temporary status. You can only do this if your permit expired within 90 days of the date you apply. You must also apply for a work permit, and pay fees for both services. Include a new LMO and contract with the application. You can not work while your application is in process if your permit has expired. Check box D for “restoration” and box C for “work permit” on the application form.
