In some cases, you may apply to restore your status as a student within 90 days of losing it. You may only apply if you have continued to meet the requirements under which you were allowed to enter and stay in Canada and you have met all the conditions imposed on your permit.
我已经在过内半年了, 大签2012年11月过期. 是不是需要restore status,因为在国内办的转学. 现在正在申请返回小签, 是不是需要这个restore status, 还是直接办这个小签就可以了.
