Is your VISA expiring, or your current WORK PERMIT?Still waiting for copr ... p2 31st october ...I had a quick question and would appreciate your help. My visa is expiring on 11feb 2025 , by when can the work permit request be filed ... today or tomorrow as well .
Also, those with LMIA renewal , did you have LMIA filed and then the work permit ,just after that without waiting for approval. Would appreciate your inputs.
If your Work Permit is expiring, better to submit the application for BOWP (or closed WP, if that is how you are doing it) today (10 Feb) to avoid any confusion about when the expiry date is (12:00:00 AM on 11 Feb - start of the day, or 11:59:59 PM on 11 Feb - end of the day). This will give you maintained status until they reply (hopefully you will have eCOPR before then, and can withdraw the WP application).
Also, you should note that IRCC uses UTC time, which is currently 5 hours ahead of EST. For this reason, it is best to submit before 7PM EST (which is midnight UTC).
If you miss the deadline to submit the application you will have to apply and pay to restore status, as well as submit the application for the WP. Avoid this stress by submitting the application today.
I don't have experience with LMIA renewal, as my WP was LMIA-exempt.
