Hey everyone,

My work permit has expired. My passport has also expired, but it is with the government as it was taken when my refugee claim was being heard. Now that my work permit is expired, I am unable to fill an application as when I put my passport expiry, it says I need to put an expiry date more than today's date. What should I do? Help! Thanks in advance. :)

You can start applying 4 months before the work permit expires but not after it expires.
Now you have to select new work permit instead of a renewal.
Put the expiry date of the passport for next year and send a letter of explanation on why you did that. Or send paper/hard copy application which takes much more time

Hi I am facing the same situation as well do you mean to put the expire date as today and send it in? Do I have to explain the reason on why I haven’t renewed it?
