Extending work permit as a protected person
- Thread starter dida16
- Start date
When we apply for the work permit extension for both refugee claimants and accepted refugees:
1. We go to the GCKey Portal
2. Go to the bottom page > Start an application > and click on "Apply to come to Canada"
3. In my case, no personal reference code, click on "visitor, study or work permit"
4. For questions: What would you like to do in Canada > Select Work > How long would you like to stay in Canada > Select Temporary less than 6 months, then answer all other questions
5. Not a US PR (most of us are not)
6. Find out if you are eligible to apply > Click on "Refugee Claimant" then Next button
7. Then select the situation that applies to you -- e.g. refugee claim in progress or accepted refugee or other situations
8. Then answer all other questions page by page
9. When asked if you have medical exam performed by IRCC authorized doctors in the past 12 months, click No, if you haven't had it (in my case I only did the medical exam paid by IRCC when making the refugee claim and is more than 12 months ago)
10. Then answer all other questions, and it will come to the page listing all your answers and then Next
11. You will see what documents you need to submit for a work permit extension: there's no medical exam required and no fee to be paid

Thank you so much for reply. Yes I followed the steps. So when doing step 9 I answer NO and I get an answer that I'm not eligible. I did my medical exam in 2023, when making the claim.
Now I have no idea how to proceed(
Medical exam is only valid for 12 months, so if last exam was in 2023, it's not valid anymore. Need to do medical and then select YES
Do you know how I can go for an exam? Last time I got a requisition letter.
By the way I'm applying for an extension of work permit not for a new one
Is the medical exam done in 2023 during refugee application process valid now for work permit extension? Can I answer question as yes for medical exam done in past 12 months ? If I answer no ,it is not allowing to submit the work permit extension application @Simba112 ,@theclaimer
