Working temporarily in Canada

Pilot Project for Occupations Requiring Lower Levels of Formal Training (NOC C and D)

My work permit is valid for a specific length of time. Can I get an extension to work in Canada longer?

You may get an extension if:

• your employer gets a new Labour Market Opinion for your job;
• you both sign a new employer–employee contract; and
• you apply for your new work permit before your current work permit expires.
