Sir, Madam,
Thank you for contacting Citizenship and Immigration Canada. I am pleased to follow up on your request:
Bridging open work permit - Certain federal economic class applicants
You can apply for an open work permit if you:
Have applied for permanent residence (PR) in Canada under one of the admissible categories of the economic class and are the principal applicant,
Have received a positive eligibility assessment on your PR application or, if applicable, the Acknowledgment of Receipt from the processing office,
Are currently in Canada, and
Already have a valid work permit that is due to expire within 4 months.
For information on the admissible categories, please visit our website.
To apply for an open work permit, you must send an Application to Change Conditions or Extend Your Stay as a Worker to the Case Processing Centre in Vegreville, Alberta.
You must do this before your work permit expires. You keep your current status under the same conditions, until a decision is made (implied status).
The application is available on our website.
Visit our website to see how long it may take to process your application.
Re-entry to Canada with Original Temporary Resident Visa (TRV)
Generally, a new single-entry Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) or a multiple-entry TRV is necessary to re-enter Canada as a visitor, student or worker.
As an exception, you can ask to re-enter Canada with your original TRV, even if it is expired, if:
You will only visit the U.S.* or St. Pierre and Miquelon and will return to Canada before the end of your authorized stay.
An officer will ask you questions to make sure you meet all of the requirements before allowing you to re-enter Canada. If you visit any country other than those listed above, you will need a new TRV.
*Including its Territories and Possessions.
