Work Permit Extension and Restoration
Extend or Restore Your Work Authorization in Canada
Has your Work Permit expired or is it about to expire? Depending on your situation, you may be able to extend your work authorization or apply to restore your status in Canada.
At G Square Immigration, we help you understand the applicable requirements, prepare your documents, and submit your Work Permit extension or restoration application correctly.
What is Work Permit Extension and Restoration?
A Work Permit Extension allows eligible foreign workers to continue working in Canada by extending their existing work authorization.
