My PGWP is going to expire in a month. I don't have job. I have put my file in Express Entry pool but haven't received ITA. Am I still eligible to apply for the extension of work permit or Visitor Record? TIA.
Hi Thanks for the informative video. I was approved for PGWP and it is expiring in 21 days from now due to my passport validity. I have my new passport at my hand. Where should I apply for my PGWP extension? Or should i wait until I receive my work permit through mail? Thanks a lot
Hi there, You need to extend your status to stay in status as a work permit before your PGWP expires. If you don’t receive it on time, you’ll have to extend it, you can include proof your first PGWP was approved with the application instead.
Hi! My PGWP is expiring end of December 2024. I have been working with a Canadian bank for the past two years. I was just wondering is it possible that I just apply for a regular Open work permit?
Hello , i find your videos very informative.! Can you make a video on recent Public policy allowing certain visitors in Canada to apply for a work permit announced on March 1st..!! Can PGWP be extended in this case?
Hi Nanda, I recently wrote a blog discussing this new public policy. Feel free to read it here - www.calverimmigrationservices.com/post/apply-for-a-work-permit-from-inside-canada
Hi! Can you please clarify the following situation : I am working on a PGWP, and it is about to expire. If me and my employer are both in favor of me keeping that job, does the employer need to get an LMIA for me to get work permit and retain the same position in the same job? Or I can simply apply for a work permit without LMIA because I already have that job.
Yes they normally have to get an LMIA, but there is a public policy that will come into effect shortly for you to be able to extend your PGWP. Depending on when they release the policy you should be able to extend.

@@JadeCalver hello jade Very informative videos Glad to subscribe your channel Are you talking about the policy for expiring work permits this year or we are going to see a new policy?
@@JadeCalver Hi! Thanks for taking out the time to respond and providing the information. I read about the policy, isn't it only for the people who have their PGWP expiring between January 2022 and December 2022.
Hey, I work for the government after graduating from a Canadian college. I currently have a work permit for ten months. Since the government cannot provide me with any LMIA, I was looking for an option to get a work permit without moving to another private company. But It seems there is no choice but to work in a private company that can provide me with LMIA. I was just wondering if you have any ideas.
after copr my wife filed for divorce she is the main recurring, she got a nomination from alberta in the express entry program. I still want to immigrate knowing that at the level of points I have added points to the file with my TEF language test. is there any chance for me to come to canada with my copr. thank you.
Hi Jade,nice for your video. What can someone on a closed work permit do when the current close work permit is about to expire, he has AOR for non-express entry PR application,but the employer is not willing to give new job offer letter to apply for work permit extension. Can he stay in canada awaiting PR decision without working ......based on Implied Status?
Oh no, well you'll have to do something about your temporary status, either change to a visitor, or hopefully use the nomination certificate for a work permit application.
Hi Jade, could you please provide more information on applying for work permit extension if one has a Acknowledgment of Receipt for a paper based PR Application? Thank you
You can use your nomination certificate (I'm assuming this is why you went paper) for a work permit extension. If you want to apply for a BOWP, you need the Approval in Principle (not just the AOR) to apply.

Hi Abdullahi, You would need to either enrol for another course that is PGWP eligible (usually my advice), or get another work permit through a different program.
Hi sir, I' m on my 1 year pgwp, which is going to expire by, March 2024 and I' m getting legally married this month in canada and my future spouse has his pgwp till sep 2025 .So after marriage registration, i' m planning to apply for his spousal open work permit.

Hello, I have a question my work permit expires in a few months, can my employer get me an LMIA for retaining me ? I currently have an open work permit
Yes, they will need to advertise the position for 4 weeks, provide proof of business legitimacy and file online to ESDC. They also need to pay a $1000CAD processing fee.
My friend need to go to court in the end of September but his work permit expired in the beginning of September he does not qualify for any program for pr what should he do ?
For travelling, you’d likely want to submit after the person is back in Canada. For PR planning and strategy, that’s a bigger discussion happy to chat!
Hy dear, I hope you are doing well. I have 2 months work permit left, not Lmia and I have 1 year work experience in Manitoba from jan 2021 to 2022. i already applied for EOI with 600 points and a draw is above 613. I still work at the same place and my employer is not helping me with Lmia. What should I do? Should I apply for new extension work permit my work permit expiring 5th Jan 2023. I came to Canada in 2018 with 2 year study and 3 year work permit. Government did helped those who had work permit till 31 December 2022 what about people like me with 4 5 days difference (5th Jan) Covid made everything up and down I’m really stressed and depressed. please help Thank-you.
This means that government will not give an extension for cec profile candidates and their workpermit is expiring . LMIA is not an option for many they know how the employers might treat people in pnp and lmia and all those money and struggle involved in getting a PR to work in canada ,…

It's important to keep up with news and updates on temporary immigration policies, as they can change frequently. For instance, there were policies like the CUAET-Work Permit for Ukrainians, the Open Work Permit policy to support Syrians and Israels, and others specific to Turkey, etc

Hey Can I only get my bridging open work permit if I have an ITA? I don’t have an ITA just 8 months of experience and my permit is expiring June?
