Extending work permit as a protected person

[Canadian_rainbow]

Can I answer no to this question: "Are you giving someone access to your application?" since I am doing the extension on my own, even if I had representation? However, I don't have the money to pay someone to do it for me. Does it really matter? Can it be adjusted later if I have to give someone access?

Say no and submit application. Yes, you can change it later if you want someone access your application.

Thank you very much for your response.

This might seem like a weird question, but is the document for your work permit the one that is in Red?

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

Hey! Since your medical was more than 12 months ago, what did you do about it? Did you get a new one done?

No, I did not get done another one. The question's answer is NO.

I applied for renewal of work permit. I noticed that if I answer NO to the medical, it will not let me proceed, I had to answer YES, then I attached an explanation letter where, among other things, I mentioned that I answered YES although I had a medical exam 2 years ago.

I received a confirmation a few days ago that my net work permit was sent to me by mail and that it is valid until August 2027.

You can do the same, answer YES to the medical exam within the last 12 months, then attach an explanatory letter and tell IRCC the same, that the system will not let you proceed if you answer NO.

It took around 45 days from the date I applied for work permit renewal until I received the confirmation that it has been renewed.
