Applying to change conditions or extend your stay in Canada — Worker (IMM 5553)

What happens next?

You will receive a letter regarding your case and you will be informed if you need to take any further action.

If your application for a work permit has been approved, an immigration document will be sent to you. If your application is refused, you can only stay in Canada until the expiry date of your current temporary resident status.

If you applied for restoration of temporary resident status you will receive a letter advising you of the decision and instructions to follow.

If your application has been referred to a local office you will be notified of this and will subsequently be contacted by this office.

If you move before your application has been processed, you must advise us of your new address by contacting the Call Centre.

Advise the Call Centre if you change your telephone or fax numbers or if you want to change the school you want to attend, or the employment you wish to take, after you have mailed your application.
