Hi everyone!

I have a question!

I have applied for my work permit extension on Oct 27th, 2020. My original WP will be expiring on Dec 2nd, 2020. Today i got a message in my account stated that

"
Please attach this letter to your present work permit Number as proof that you are authorized to continue working with the same conditions (ie: employer and occupation) until or until a decision is made on your application, whichever is first. This extended period of work is authorized as per subsection 186(u) of the Immigration and Refugee
Protection Regulations. If you leave Canada before a decision is made on your application, you will no longer be authorized to continue working.
".


It has been extended till Feb 25, 2021. What are the chances of getting it approved ? I know that i can keep working with the same employer under same conditions imposed until Feb 2021. But still I am curious to know if that means it will be approved because i read somewhere that the Extended work permit approves only when the conditions are fulfilled.

Please let me know about your experience and opinions.

Thank You in Advance.

Regards

Sahil

Hi Sahil
It seems like you have extension until Feb 25.
Can you please advise that what kind of work permit did you have and on what basis did you apply extension.
My friend is in same situation her work permit was expiring on Oct 28 and she applied for extension on Oct 27. Her work permit was LMIA based. Her Employer has applied for LMIA for her on Oct 26. She applied for extension with LMIA application number provided by the employer.
You help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hi

My work permit is LMIA exempt and my job offer has been extended upto Dec 2022. Based on that, I applied for extension. I'm still waiting for the final decision. It seems like it'll take two weeks minimum but I'm not sure. It's under NOC 0015.

It only means you are under implied status and allowed to keep working under the condition of old wp while waiting for the new one to be approved. I received the same after submitting my wp application. I think the date they mentioned in the letter takes into consideration the current processing time. It doesn't mean it's approved though...

Can anyone please let me know the detailed meaning of this condition mentioned below :-

Unless authorized, must not attend any educational institution or take any academic, professional or vocational training course"

I looked into the forum and found out that you can get yourself enrolled in training which is less than six months. Is dat true?

i mean training for security license and truck driving? Just wanted to know. Please.
