When applying for an extension of your work permit in Canada, there are several factors to take into account: your eligibility for the program, how long you have been employed here, and your financial situation.
When it comes to extending your work permit, there are various programs and terms available. Finding the right program can make all the difference in success.
Qualifications
When applying for a work visa in Canada, it’s essential to know what qualifications are necessary. You must possess a valid passport, no criminal or immigration-related convictions, and be able to demonstrate that you have no ties to your home country.
You must possess both a job offer letter and an LMIA, which verify that your employer needs you to fill a position that cannot be filled by Canadian residents.

Requirements
If you wish to extend your work visa in Canada, you must follow the correct procedures. This includes securing a job offer from an eligible Canadian employer.
Once your work permit application is approved, you must submit all required documents to a consulate office in your country. Please be aware that the process for applying can take up to 27 weeks depending on where you come from; once accepted, however, will take another few days before any decisions are made.
Once your work permit is issued, you are free to travel and work in Canada. However, depending on the type of permit you possess, it may expire after some period of time (e.g., six months or years).
Before you begin applying, make sure your spouse/common-law partner and children are eligible to work in Canada. If so, submit their work permit applications along with yours.
Documents
When applying to extend your work visa in Canada, it is essential that you possess the required documents. These may include evidence of job qualifications, letters from employers, and other supporting documents.
According to the type of work permit you apply for, certain documents must be provided. This information helps the officer decide if you are admissible in Canada.
The officer will evaluate each case individually, taking into account your professional, social, and cultural attributes as well as your family situation and long-term plans.
If you are the spouse or common-law partner of an international student who is studying full-time and holds a study permit, you may be eligible to apply for an open work permit. Usually, this work permit will be valid for the same duration as your study permit.
Interview
The interview process is an integral component of Canada’s employment visa application. Here, the government evaluates your qualifications for the job and whether you have received a valid employment offer from a Canadian company, among other factors.
Additionally, it’s essential to research the company you wish to work for and its objectives within the industry. Doing this can provide answers to questions about your role in improving the business and making it stronger.
Companies use various types of interviews to recruit workers for positions. Some are standard and adhere to a particular format, while others are less structured.
