I submitted an application for a work permit extension (inland) in September and as we all know, it is taking a long time to process these. I received a document the next day saying that I was authorised to work until January 18 2022 or until a decision was made on the application, whichever is...

I checked my application status earlier today and found that it had been approved yesterday. I received an email about it just a few minutes ago (i.e. one day after change of status). There is currently no new message or document attached. To give those waiting for theirs a sense of the...

By a FN working from the UK, you don't imply any change in status, right? I continue working as normal for my Canadian employer, remotely, and return to Canada only after my WP is approved (and this should mean I have proof from documentation via the IRCC application portal, plus I'll have my...

Sorry for covering the same things over and over, but just a little more clarification because it's quite nuanced: when you left Canada you were not working? Or you were unable to work on leaving? Since I work in academia (and likely from home for the foreseeable future) I can technically work...

Ah, but you had your application moved? Was the 5 months inclusive of the initial processing time, or since the change of processing centre? Looking at how things are going I'm probably due to have my application processed in about a month or so -- possibly 2 months if there as a slight...

Thanks for this. This certainly makes it clear that re-entry is possible after the work permit is issued (this was my intention: to wait until it had been processed before returning to Canada). My doubt was also about my employment status since I'm still working while on implied status, i.e. if...

Thanks again for your follow-up. I think this makes it clear that not leaving at all until the WP has been processed really is the only safe thing to do, rather than trying to leave and re-enter after receipt of the WP, which as you've said is not straightforward in the first instance and made...

Ok, thanks for the reply. This is the point that I seem to be finding contradictory information about: some sources say leaving is fine (you're still on implied) but you cannot re-enter unless you have a valid WP otherwise your implied status ends. Other sources are more ambigious, i.e. "you...

Hi all, I'm hoping someone can clarify some details on rules about travel. I'm possibly going to travel to the UK -- if I can determine a safe and responsible way to do so. I'm currently on implied status: I applied for an extension to my work permit because I had my contract renewed for an...

This is good to know, thank you. Do you have any sense of how likely it is to have a problem with CBSA with my current WP? I'm hoping they're overwhelmingly likely to recognise Canada as my primary residence even with only a few weeks remaining on my WP.

I've been outside Canada for a while due to the issues around COVID19. I have a flight booked to return on Thursday 3rd September, and a work permit that is valid until September 30th. My current employer has extended my contract for a year, so I am going to submit the application to extend my...

Hi all, Any advice on this would be welcome. I have a work permit. I left Canada earlier in the year. Although it was only meant to be for a few weeks, it has become a significantly extended stay outside the country due to COVID-19. I'm currently in Scotland. My place of work is still operating...

I am unable to answer the *specific* question on whether you will need one, but I have just had to get one (having lived in Japan for two years). In order to get a Police Certificate you need to show the police some documents that demonstrate you require one. For me, that involved showing two...

Hi everyone, I have a couple of queries regarding work permit applications, temporary residence and entry to Canada that I hope someone might be able to advise me on. Last month I submitted an application for a work permit with LMIA exemption having been offered a job in Toronto with a...
