Two work permit

[orangelin]

My wife has two work permit. I'm an international student in a Canada college. My old study permit is due on 30 Jun, 2016. I extended it to 31st, Mar, 2018 in last Nov.

I applied a work permit for my wife using my old study permit at the same time in last Nov. However, when I received my new study permit, I took my wife to Niagara boarder custom to make a flag pole. The custom officer issued her a work permit due on my new study permit date 31st, Mar, 2018, and her passport record extended to the same date as well.

This Feb, I received CIC's mail for my wife's work permit due on 30,Jun, 2016.

My question is which work permit is valid ? Should I make a clarification with CIC ?

1. The one that is valid to 31/03/18 is the valid one, it "trumps" the previous one.

Are you sure?

I heard you can keep two work permits...

Please give me a link to a source which says so.

Look at date of issue on both work permit. Latest date one will be considered as valid one. In Canada you can have only one permit. Latest permit always overrides last one.

No, that is incorrect. I actually had 3 valid work permits at one point. When I got my second one, the immigration officer at YVR even stapled the second one right next to my first one in my passport and stated they were both valid. When I got my third one, the officer at a land crossing stapled the third one in and took the other two out. He said that they were all valid, but I only needed to have the one which was for the current company I was working at in there. He then continued to say that the other two were completely valid and would remain in their computer system so I didn't need to have the permits in my passport.
All three permits were for three different different companies and they all had different expiration dates. About 20-30 coworkers I know had the same experience. So, you can have multiple vaild work permits in Canada.

That's PERFECT....
Can you show us any proof or source which can prove it?

A lengthy debate is going on regarding this topic.
This is impossible in USA as far as I know.

Call cic and confirm, tell them u have two permits which one will be considered valid one ?. I am sure answer will be permit with latest date of issue.


So as per above logic if some one has visitor and work permit both r valid. Which one applicant should consider ?

Unfortuntely, the only source I can provide is me. This link explains it a bit, but it's not even accurate in that it says it doesn't think you can hold multiple fulltime permits:
http://immigrationcanada.pro/immigrate/holding-multiple-canadian-work-permits-time/

As I mentioned in my previous post, I've held three fulltime work permits. Two were LMO approved and the third was one based on NAFTA. All three were for different companys, but same NOC. Once I decided to get PR, my current company applied for a LMIA approved permit which was granted. At that point my first LMO permit expired and I was left with one LMO approved permit, a NAFTA permit, and a LMIA permit. All of these were closed permits. So, I'm not sure that makes a difference.

I do think the original OP should use whichever permit is valid for the longest period of time. That's what I did when I applied for a Nexus card.
