My OWP was refused on February 12. I applied for reconsideration / restoration on March 21, but I haven’t received a response yet. ( I have contacted my MP) I continued applying for jobs because I was going crazy not doing anything. I received an offer letter today with a start date of May 15. Please advise should I send a request for a later start date, or whether I should tell the HR the truth that I don’t currently have a valid work permit ( During interviews I said I was eligible to work in Canada) . The job is a good deal and i don’t want to reject the offer . Please advise
