I applied for my 1st work permit extension today (Aug 22, 2024) using GC Key, below 6 months. I'm a Convention refugee inside Canada. My current work permit is expiring in Jan 2025. I saw the current processing times are over 117 days for Work permit from inside Canada (initial and extension). The documents that I had to upload were;
1 - IMM5710e filled and signed electronically (just the full name on the signature box)
2 - Passport scan copy (original is currently seized by IRCC)
3 - Digital Photo (this is the same size as PR application photo/RTD application photo)
4 - Optional document - Letter of Explanation for IMM5710e Employment section (because there's only 3 rows available and I ran out of space)
5 - Optional document - IMM 5257 SCH1 - this shows up as Optional but on the help description it shows this is described as Mandatory. So I wasn't sure and filled it anyway.
No payment was required.
I'm having a few doubts if I should have uploaded the Notice of Decision in the optional documents section or via webform. Appreciate any insights you'll can share
