1. Language Test
You generally do not need a language test for a work permit extension, as language tests are typically required for permanent residence applications under economic immigration programs (e.g., Express Entry). For work permit extensions, the focus is on your employment and eligibility requirements.
2. Document Checklist
Ensure you have all the required documents for your application. Based on what you’ve mentioned, here’s a checklist:
• IMM5710E: Ensure it is fully completed and validated.
• Application Number: Helpful for reference but not a required attachment unless requested.
• Proof of Payment: Include the screenshot or receipt for the application fee.
• Current Work Permit: Provide a clear scan of both sides.
• Employment Letter: Ensure it includes details such as your position, salary, duties, and the duration of employment.
• Work Permit Support Letter - provided by PNP office.
• Passport Copy: Include scans of all stamped pages, and ensure your passport is valid for the desired extension duration.
• Other Supporting Documents: If applicable, include your study permit, spousal open work permit, or bridging open work permit (BOWP) approval, depending on your situation.
3. Check the Application Process
• Apply Online: Most work permit extensions must be submitted via your IRCC account.
• Pay the Correct Fees: Ensure you pay the correct fees for your application type (e.g., work permit holder fee, open work permit fee if applicable).
4. Work Permit Expiry
Since your current work permit expires at the end of January 2025, submit your application well before the expiry date to maintain implied status. IRCC generally recommends applying at least 30 days before expiry.
