Waiting
Hi All - My existing work permit expires on August 25th and I plan to apply for a renewal (for an open work permit) this month. Since CIC states that your work permit must be within 4 months of expiration, do I need to wait until April 25th to apply or can I apply now knowing that it won't be processed/approved for 38 days (timeline given on CIC website), which is within the 4 month window?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Joe
