Hi,

Does anyone have any experience in extension of closed work permit?? I have a restriction "yes" on my PNP certificate and I'm already on a closed work permit.

I'm just asking that would there be any issue in applying for closed permit extension??

Any inputs will be highly appreciated

hey , does anyone know how to apply for the closed permit online, whenever i fill the eligibility form, it leads me to open work permit application.

Quite frustrating actually.

Hi Moneywater,

Not sure where you are at now.. but what I did to apply for a closed work permit when my PGWP was almost expiring was to fill up the IMM5710E (application to change conditions, extend my stay or remain in Canada as a Worker)..

Then on Page 3, I put Exemption from LMIA and choosing that option.. I needed an Offer of Employment Number (LMIA Exempt) from my Employer.. The number looks like this A00XXXXX .. and my employer did that thru the Employer CIC portal..

Hope that helps

Regards

Hi Ellained,

May I ask you questions about Closed Work permit extension application?

I did closed work permit extension application ONLINE instead of bridging work permit application because I have 'YES' Restriction on my nomination letter.
I submitted the following ONLINE:

Job offer letter
Passport
Photo
PNC
SINP work permit support letter
Proof that I Meet the requirements of the Job being offered. ( like training certificate, reference letter from the company I work)
NOTE: my job is NOT regulated

In IMM5710 form

I selected (I am applying for) : Work permit extension (same-employer)

Type of work permit I am appying for: LMIA-Exempt

I have AOR, already and currently waiting for MR.

1.Do you think I a on track on the application I did?
2.Did you also submit the same documents when you applied?
3.Did you submit the compliance fee receipt together with your documents?

Thank you very much in Advance...

Have you applied for Provincial Nominee under LMIA-exempt closed work permit? Im planning to get an LMIA based work permit by the time my PGWP expires. I wont qualify to apply under AINP with my PGWP because of my education.

With our PGWP expiring, can we also continue to work while we wait for our closed work permit approval?

If you submit application before expiry date of another permit, you can continue to work under same employer or same conditions until decision is made on your application.
