This was not an application for a renewal but an application for a new permit. Originally the employee had been employed by a different company. When the application for a work permit was received from the second company, it was refused. This was because the employee appeared to have been illegally employed by this company in advance of the work permit application being made.
Additional information about this case has been made available to my Department in the last week. In light of this, and other factors, the entire matter is being reviewed, mainly on a humanitarian basis. The employer will be contacted by the work permits section in the course of this review.
