I applied and recieved a temporary work permit valid for one year. After entering Canada i relaised that the expiry date on the visa in my passport was for August the 3rd instead of a year from entry which would have been October. I filed out the appropriate forms to get the date of my visa corrected. However i sent the forms and letters by recorded post 6 months ago but have not heard anything. I am now back in the UK but i am looking to return to Canada to continue to work until october. How can i get the incorrect date on my work permit changed and what is the quickest way to do this?

Thanks!

Is it the visa that was wrong or the work permit. Two different documents with two different meanings.

I have just realised that my VALIDITY DATE IS WRONG.

. On it it says validity date 22-6-12 and then the line below that goes one may not enter Canada any later than the validity date shown above.

The vailidty date 22-6-12 was the same date that i recieved the email attached below stating how i got my visa. So my visa is expired already even though i got it on d same day??

I am flying out in 2 DAYS and need someone to URGENTLY contact me!!!!

No, you need to urgently contact the embassy that issued the visa. They are the only ones who can do anything about it. Sorry but you are probably going to have to postpone your flight until this is corrected.

wrong employer name on my work permit

HI I have received my work permit recently today, under my old lmo but I have not submited that when I was applied for my work permit, I sent them lmo is in processing, when I got my LMO I called to CIC and told them my file number. but my work permit issued based on old LMO. it is not my mistake.

2) when they issue work permit what employer name they use on my work permit I mean employer legal name or business name.

Pls any one give me advice..

Regards,

I have a temporary work permit valid for one year. After entering Canada I found that the expiry date on the work permit was incorrect. The work permit expires in three months. What should I do?

I’ve just realized this has happened to me as well! How/did you get it sorted?

Hi There! This happened to me also - the date on my 2 year visa was entered as the date I needed to enter Canada by and not 2 years (giving me 7 months). I went back to Vancouver international airport (the airport I received the visa from) to the CBSA office and they were able to fix it super quickly!
