Work Permit Extension Categories We Handle
Every work permit situation is different. Our RCIC team identifies the right pathway for your circumstances and handles every step of the filing process.
LMIA-Based Extension
Your employer obtains a positive Labour Market Impact Assessment from ESDC. We coordinate with your employer, review the LMIA application, and file your permit extension.
LMIA-Exempt (CUSMA / ICT)
US/Mexico nationals under CUSMA, intra-company transfers, and significant benefit exemptions skip the LMIA process. We determine your exempt category and handle the filing.
Bridging Open Work Permit
If you have applied for PR through Express Entry and your work permit expires before a decision, a Bridging Open Work Permit (BOWP) lets you keep working while awaiting your PR.
Open Work Permit
Spouses of skilled workers, refugee claimants, and certain other categories may qualify for employer-unrestricted open work permits. We assess your eligibility and file accordingly.
Employer Change
Changing jobs mid-permit? We advise on whether you need a new work permit, file the employer change application, and ensure you maintain maintained status throughout.
Restoration of Status
Already out of status? If within 90 days of expiry you can apply to restore your status. We file restoration as a priority and advise on whether a departure from Canada is required.
