Work Permit Extension
To extend a work permit in Canada, it is necessary to follow a specific procedure. Here are the main steps typically required:
Application Submission: You must submit an application to extend your work visa at least 30 days prior to the expiration of your current visa. You need to fill out the appropriate form, which can be found on the official website of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
Document Preparation: When submitting the application, you will need to provide certain documents to support your eligibility for the work permit extension. This may include a new letter from your employer confirming your continued employment, updated information on your salary, position, etc. Additional documents related to your status, such as a copy of your passport, photographs, and proof of financial sufficiency, may also be required.
Visa Fees Payment: When submitting the application, you may be required to pay visa fees. The fee amount can vary, so it is recommended to check the current information on the IRCC website.
Application Submission: After completing all the necessary forms and preparing the documents, you should submit your application and all relevant materials to the IRCC. Ensure that all forms and documents are accurately and completely filled out, following the specific instructions provided by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC)
Decision Waiting Period: After submitting the application, you will need to wait for a decision from the IRCC. This process typically takes several weeks or months. Your extension may be approved or denied. If you have submitted a timely application for a Work Permit extension and your current permit expires while your application is being processed, you are eligible to continue working under implied status until a decision is reached on your application.
It is important to note that the procedure for extending a work visa may vary depending on your specific situation and type of work visa. It is recommended to refer to the official website of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) or consult a licensed immigration consultant or lawyer to obtain accurate information and instructions tailored to your situation.
