About the process
If you have a work permit that’s about to expire or you need to make changes to it, you need to apply to extend it or change the conditions on it. You need to apply at least 30 days before your current work permit expires.
You can’t extend your work permit beyond the expiry date of your passport.
If you don’t have a work permit but want to work in Canada temporarily, find out what you need to do.
If you want to live and work in Canada permanently, you must qualify under one of the permanent resident categories.
