Okay I have a very petinent question
I applied for a TRV for a missionary training program since it’s a non profit Christain missionary organization instructed by the missinary organization which is less than six months training.
Submitted application two months ago
and biometrics done
Eligibility review started a month ago and
Recently I got this email


Dear



This refers to your temporary resident visa (TRV) application to Canada.



Please note that a TRV application as is not the adequate document as it is does allow to do an internship even if it is unpaid.

A work permit is required in your situation.

Please confirm that you wish to retrieve your TRV and that you have submitted a temporary work permit.



Yours sincerely,



Is this a good sign
Is it training or work? If work (see link for differences), you need a LMIA exempt work permit. Have you applied for a work permit with the link provided in the email? Your employer would need to apply for exemption through IRCC.

No I haven’t applied for a work permit
But your letter form IRCC states internship. So you are going to class every day, and doing no work for the organization. So they think you are coming for unpaid work based on your TRV application. Talk to charitable organization about next steps if you require a work permit.

If outreach then it is work. You need a LMIA exempt work permit (gave you the link). Your organization must apply for LMIA exemption under C50.
