Brand new measures for post graduate employment permits

Brand new measures for post graduate employment permits

New measures for foreign nationals whose post-graduation employment permits have expired or are about to expire as well as applicants for the paths from temporary residence to permanent resident.

The enormous social, cultural, and economic contributions that international students make to Canada are acknowledged by the Canadian government. Canada is a popular choice for international students because to its inclusive and diverse society, world-class educational institutions, and chances for employment or immigration following graduation.

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) is taking action for candidates for the temporary resident to permanent residency pathway and for former international students whose post-graduation work permits have expired or are about to expire. The announcement from earlier this year serves as the foundation for these actions.Open work permits for people whose post-graduation work permits have expired or are about to expire.

Foreign nationals who had a post-graduation work permit that was about to expire between September 20, 2021, and December 31, 2022 will be able to extend it or apply for a new one to extend their ability to work in Canada for an extra 18 months. Those who are already residing in Canada will also be able to find employment throughout the time that their permit is being renewed or a new one is being issued.

Different candidates will be impacted by these guidelines in different ways. My passport is valid through April 2024, my address is current, and my post-graduation work permit has an expiration date range of October 2, 2022, to December 31, 2022. Nothing needs to be done by you. Don't reply to the email that IRCC sends you asking for confirmation of your mailing address. By the middle of October, a revised work permit will be delivered to your mailing address.

If you receive an email from IRCC asking you to confirm your mailing address, please update it as directed by the communication's instructions. This initial email will not be sent to you; instead, you will receive a different email in September if we are unable to extend your work permit by 18 months due to the expiration of your passport.

In September, instructions on how to update your mailing address and the validity of your passport in your online account will be sent to you via email if you need to. You will have a window of two weeks to do this. By mid-November, if you amend this information, a new work permit will be mailed to you.Check your passport's validity to make sure you can take use of it, and if it expires before April 2, 2024, request an extension. Make sure your paper application for your post-graduation work permit is connected to your online account if you applied for it.

Your work permit extension must be requested online. You can either wait to apply until your passport has been renewed or you can get a work permit that is valid until your passport expiration date. I was not contacted by IRCC, and my post-graduation work permit expires between October 2 and December 31, 2022.

You are not eligible to have your work permit extended through this special process if you have not heard from IRCC by the middle of September for another reason, such as the addition of information about your admissibility to Canada that will require further review to your case. If you want to extend your work permit, you can still apply online.

A work permit must be applied for online. The application period begins on August 2, 2022. If you are currently residing in Canada and your temporary status has also come to an end, you must also apply to have your status restored. You are permitted to reinstate your status under these unique rules, even if it expired more than 90 days ago.

If you've left Canada and want to come back once your application has been accepted, you may submit it from overseas.Note: A port of entry is not where you can apply for this work permit. By December 31, 2022, all.

Ability to work temporarily


Individuals having post-graduation work permits that have expired or will expire between September 20, 2021, and December 31, 2022 will begin receiving emails notifying them that they are permitted to work in the interim on August 8, 2022. To prove to an employer that they are qualified to work temporarily in Canada, the recipient can attach this email to their post-graduation work visa.

With this one-time measure, it will be possible for persons who qualify for the additional 18-month work period to continue working or to enter the labour force while they submit an application for a new work permit. The duration of this transitional work period is from now until May 31, 2023.

Note: If the person's status has expired, this email message does not reinstate their legal temporary resident status; it just permits them to work. It is meant to make sure those whose post-graduation work permits have expired or are about to expire can continue to work while they wait for an updated or new open work permit. When applying for a new work visa, a person who is out of status must also apply to get back into status. Even if their status has lapsed for longer than 90 days, eligible applicants may still submit an application for reinstatement.

You may return to Canada and be permitted to work if you currently reside outside of Canada and hold a valid temporary residence visa. However, you cannot enter Canada using only the email notice of your temporary work authorization.

In order to be eligible to apply for an open work visa, applicants must be a part of the temporary resident to permanent resident (TR to PR) routes and whose permanent residency application has not yet been approved. By doing this, it is certain that they won't lose their status or capacity to work while their application for permanent residency is being processed.

Given that it will take some time to process TR to PR applications, people requesting an open work permit can now get one with an expiration date of December 31, 2024, providing their passport is still valid at that time.Through this approach, about 2,500 TR to PR applicants have already applied for and been granted an open work permit with a deadline of December 31, 2022.

These people will soon start getting emails informing them that they might be eligible to update their work permits to have longer validity dates. They are not required to take any action if their mailing address is current and they are still in Canada. They will receive a revised work permit in the mail with a December 31, 2024, expiration date. By the middle of October, they ought to get it.

This email will not be sent to applicants whose passports expire before December 31, 2024, and they will not be qualified to use the special measure to extend their present work permits. They are still qualified to submit an application and request a longer work permit, either by requesting one on the day their passport expires or after they have replaced their passport.

The person will no longer qualify for the special measure if they need to change their mailing address or if they choose not to receive an open work permit through this procedure. To apply, they must do it online.
