Significant good news! Recently, the Canadian Immigration Department announced the extension of the policy for converting visitor visas to work permits for one year until February 28, 2023.
The policy for converting visitor visas to work permits in Canada was initially implemented on August 24, 2020. It allows visitors who have entered Canada, including tourists, family visitors, study permit holders, and super visa holders, to apply for a work permit directly within Canada as long as they have a job offer letter, without the need to leave the country. The original deadline for this policy was March 31, 2021, which was later extended to August 31, and then again to February 28, 2022, and now it has been extended to February 28, 2023. This is a significant benefit for many parents accompanying students or travelers in Canada, as they can apply for a work permit directly without leaving Canada.
Conditions for Converting Visitor Visas to Work Permits:
1. The applicant must be in Canada.
2. The applicant must have a valid visitor status in Canada; if the visitor status has expired, it must be restored before applying for a work permit.
3. Applications for work permits with a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) approved by the Canadian Ministry of Human Resources must be submitted between August 24, 2020, and February 28, 2023, or applications for work permits that are exempt from LMIA approval. (Note: Applications submitted before or after these dates do not qualify.)
4. Hold a valid job offer from an employer.
5. Meet all other admissibility requirements, such as medical and criminal checks.
It is well known that foreign residents can only work legally in Canada if they hold a work permit. By applying for a work permit, they can convert their visitor status into a legal work status. By accumulating local work experience in Canada, work permit holders can subsequently apply for permanent residency through various programs.
The extension of the policy for converting visitor visas to work permits once again reflects Canada's humane approach during the pandemic. In fact, as a traditional immigration country, Canada has continuously introduced various favorable policies. Because of this, Canadian immigration has become increasingly favored by investors in recent years.
Currently, Canada is also doubling its efforts to drive economic recovery through the people already in Canada and new immigrants, as well as to alleviate labor shortages in Canada. On February 14, 2022, the Canadian Immigration Department announced the "2022-2024 Immigration Levels Plan." Over the next three years, Canada plans to welcome more than 1.3 million immigrants, significantly increasing its immigration targets! Undoubtedly, the golden opportunity for immigration to Canada is right before us!
