I want to make sure I understand everything correctly. My open work permit has expired, and I have applied for an extension.



However, my Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is still under process. My consultant mentioned that even if my LMIA is under process, the Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) will make a decision. He suggested applying for an Interim Work Permit for a safer side. Is it true?



When I searched for this information on the IRCC website, it said that international students who applied for an actual work permit will receive a letter saying they are eligible for work authorization. So, according to my consultant, can I apply for an Interim Work Permit and continue working even though my extension for my internship work is still valid for 180 days?

There's no such thing as an interim work permit. There is something called interim work authorization.
