There’s big news for Punjabi youth working in Canada. Young people whose work permits are about to expire and whose employers have already submitted a Labour Market Impact Assessment application will now have an additional 30 days to complete the work permit extension process.
This decision will have a significant impact on Punjab’s youth
The Canadian Immigration Department has extended the period for the concurrent in-Canada work permit extension process from 60 days to 90 days. This decision will have a significant impact on Punjab’s youth. A large number of Punjabi youth are working in Canada on temporary work permits after completing their studies.
Risk of Employment Impact
Many of these individuals wish to continue their employment with their current employers and are pursuing permanent residence in the future. Delays in the LMIA process have often put them at risk of their work permits expiring and their employment being impacted.
This new system is a crucial time for Punjabi youth.
This new system is a crucial time for Punjabi youth, as their existing work permit, along with their jobs, rental housing, family financial responsibilities, and future immigration plans in Canada, are linked to their existing work permit. However, the 90-day period should not be considered a new work permit.
Waiting until the last minute is risky.
Waiting until the last minute, relying solely on a pending LMIA application, can be risky. The employer must have filed the LMIA application on time. Applying for an LMIA at the last minute simply because the work permit is about to expire will not guarantee a 90-day extension in every case.###CANADA###USA###UK###CANADA###NEWS###PUNJABI###MIGRATE###GOOD###NEWS###AUSTRALIA###NEWZEALAND###SINGAPORE###
