Open Work Permits for Essential Workers and International Graduates

At Scope Immigration, we understand the critical role essential workers play in our communities. Canada offers open work permits to those who have applied under the Essential Workers and International Graduate immigration programs in 2021. 

This opportunity allows applicants to continue contributing to the Canadian workforce while their permanent residence applications are being processed.

Pathway to Permanent Residency for Essential Workers

If you applied for permanent residency through Canada’s Essential Workers and International Graduates pathway in 2021, you can also apply for an open work permit. This permit enables you to work in any occupation while you await the decision on your residency application. This flexibility supports essential workers who have been instrumental during challenging times.

Inclusion of Family Members

Your family is important to us. Under this policy, your spouse or common-law partner and dependent children over 18 years old can also apply for open work permits, provided they live in Canada. This ensures that your family can stay together and maintain stability during the immigration process.

Application Process and Validity

Applying for an open work permit is straightforward and can be done online. Starting from summer 2022, Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) will issue work permits valid until 2024. This extended validity offers peace of mind and stability for essential workers and their families as they transition to permanent residency.

Maintaining Work Status

If you apply to extend your permit before it expires, you can maintain your status and continue working under the same conditions as your original permit while your new application is being processed. This ensures no disruption in your employment or residency status.
