I know your question is important to you and I will be giving it the time and attention it deserves.
Sometimes responses and replies take time, so I ask you to be courteous and patient to allow me the time to type answers to you and also to others. At times I may even have to do some research.
I am sorry to hear of this difficult situation.
Can you please set out the basic facts?Debra, Expert
Please explain the facts.
I had exited the country on March 5th and Returned back on 7th March from the USA.That means I have still 180 days ( I don't get any stamp on my passport at the border ) or I must exit Canada before 27th April.Which is correct?
Debra, Expert
When did you get the letter?
Debra, Expert
Here is the answer to your query. Please do not hesitate to ask any follow up questions related to this response and know that I will respond as soon as I can.
When the letter was sent they didn't know you left and came back.
When you re-entered they didn't know this letter was being sent.
It is likely the case that you must leave by April 27 but you can send in a webform to ask in the hope they say that because you left you are essentially starting over.
You should do this by webform and not by phone so you have something in writing.
Does that make sense?
for example, if the stamp shows that you entered Canada on January 5th, 2017, you would have to leave by July 5th, 2017, at the latest.
if the officer wrote a date by hand underneath the stamp, you would have to leave Canada on or before this date.In some cases, an officer could give you a shorter or longer amount of time for the following reasonsYour ability to pay for your expenses and those of your family members coming to Canada with you (financial support),
The amount of time you ask to stay in Canada for, and
The expiry date of your passport or other travel document,
it is important that your stay does not exceed the expiry date of your passport or travel document.If needed, more information is available for you regarding the length of authorized stay in Canada as a visitor.We hope the information provided is helpful in assisting you with your enquiry.We would also like to suggest the following online services that might be helpful to you with any immigration, refugee and/or citizenship future requests:

This is not good enough. They didn't understand the issue.
You have to write again and explain what you told me. You left, came back and then got the letter.
Can you remain for 6 months because you left and re-entered or not.
I might not write correctly or ask the right question to get clear information from Immigration. It will be good to know from experts like you.Please suggest some key points...
I highly appreciate your help in this regard.

You tell what happened. You left on....... and returned on........ This would mean you could stay for six months.
But then on...... .you received a letter dated..........
Does this mean you must leave in April or do yo have six months from the date you re-entered?
It's my bad luck, I couldn't either get an open permit or able to cancel it. Anyhow, I'm not interested in a refund, only checked if that application can be removed, which you clearly explained was not possible due to procedures. Got the answer clear now.Same time, still one more question I'm unable to understand from your links.The open work permit refusal letter shows ( The immigration letter feedback received on 13th March )
"Your status in Canada is valid until April 27, 2022. What does it mean exactly?I had exited the country on March 5th and returned back on 7th March from the USA.
That means I have still 180 days ( I don't get any stamp on my passport at the border while entering Canada on 7th March )
or I must exit Canada before 27th April as per the letter?So which is correct?
How long I can stay here in Canada? What is my last date exactly to exit?Please help me out to clarify my doubts.Regards
Asif
