Last year in 2014 i applied online for my first work permit and i received it in about 17 days. last year the online applications were really fast. This year when i applied online to re-new my work permit it took more than 4 months.Mithra31 said:Dear Kriv,
I applied through mail and it took me right 3 months when i received my first work permit in 2014 and then before its was going to epire again I applied on 9th of August 2015 and just today November 08th-2015 i received my work permit it took me again 3 months.
In both times i applied through mail not online.
Best,
Mithra
if you want to extend your work permit/study permit then you can apply for the extension at least 30 days before it is going to be expired. if it is expiring on 31st august 2016 then you can submit your application any time between 1st august - 31st august.amahmustang said:Hi everyone!
Well my study and work permit expires on 31st of August. I wonder when is the right to submit an application for renewal in order to avoid a gap between the expired and the renewed permit. I currently work, I am just kind of worried that my employer put me on hold if I don't renew the work permit before it expires. Same for school.
Thanks
According to CIC rules you can apply for extension not earlier than 3 months before expiry date. So, you can apply on June 1, 2016.amahmustang said:Hi everyone!

How do you guys that it takes 4 months for issuing open work permit? It is just 13 days if you have another valid study/work permit.
