Work permit extension

If you are a temporary foreign worker in Canada you most likely have a special document called Work Permit. If this document is about to expire, you may be eligible for an extension without having to change status or leaving the country.

A work permit extension allows you to continue working in Canada legally while you wait for a final decision on your immigration application.

To be eligible for a work permit extension, you must:

• Be in Canada with a valid temporary resident status;
• Have a valid job offer from a Canadian employer;
• Meet the requirements of the work permit category you are applying for; and
• Submit your application before your current work permit expires.
  - We recommend that you submit your work permit extension application at least 30 days before your current status expires.

A work permit extension allows you to continue working in Canada legally while you wait for a final decision on your immigration application. This means that you can maintain your status as a temporary foreign worker and avoid any gaps in employment, which can be beneficial for your overall immigration application.

In addition, a work permit extension may also allow you to apply for a new job or change employers without having to apply for a new work permit. A work permit extension can be a valuable option for temporary foreign workers in Canada who need more time to complete their immigration application.
