IRCC Extends Policy for Temporary Foreign Workers

The Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has extended a public policy allowing temporary foreign workers on closed work permits to change employers or occupations before receiving a new work permit.

Key Details:

– Eligible Workers: Temporary foreign workers in Canada with valid temporary resident status can benefit from this policy.
– New Employment: Eligible workers can start new jobs while their work permit application is being processed.
– Application Process: Workers must apply for an exemption under this public policy and wait for confirmation from IRCC before starting their new job.

This policy extension provides more flexibility and job mobility for temporary foreign workers in Canada.
