Canada has officially announced the termination of the Temporary Public Policy that allowed visitor visa holders to apply for work permits from within the country. Introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic, this policy provided flexibility for visitors to transition to work permits without leaving Canada. However, this policy will no longer be available after September 1, 2024.
Key Points:
- The deadline to apply for work permits under this policy is August 31, 2024.
- After this deadline, visitors must apply for work permits from outside Canada, adhering to the standard immigration process.
- This change impacts many temporary residents who may have relied on this policy to secure employment in Canada without leaving the country.
For those affected, it’s crucial to take immediate action if they plan to transition to a work permit under the current policy. Consulting with our overseas education consultants is advisable to navigate this change effectively.
