Officers are informed that instructions related to work permits issued under paragraph 204(c) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (IRPR) – administrative code T13 – where the intended work of the foreign national is subject to an agreement entered into by the Minister and a province or group of provinces, have been updated.
Minor changes to the instructions include how to issue work permits for multiple locations and work permit eligibility for family members, and the clean-up of existing text. Note that under T13, work permits fall under 3 categories:
- Significant Investment Projects
- Exceptional or Unforeseen Events (such as natural disasters)
- Nominated by a province for permanent residence
