Hello folks, I am a protected protected person but my work permit is about to expire in less than a week. I tried browsing all the available website but couldn't find the right one for me. Can anyone tell me the step to apply online? And also I'm currently working, should I stop working till I get my new work permit? Thanks a lot in advance!!

Thank you very much for your detailed explanation. But I have some questions regarding the imm5710 form. There are areas which says why I came yo Canada, my job type, my education and so on. Should I also fill those? Thanks again

hello, thank you this was helpful.
Please note, I have followed all the steps above, but I am asked to provide *Proof of upfront medicals. How do I go about it? Is this mandatory for a protected person?
Thank you

No, medical is not mandatory for a protected person. You don't even pay any fees.

Thanks but in the IRCC portal upfront medicals is part of the required documents. Can I submit my application without the medicals? Why did they include it in the required documents.
