It’s crucial to keep a check on the validity of your live-in caregiver work permit. You will end up in quite a bit of trouble if your work permit expires while you are living in the country. Luckily, it’s pretty simple to extend a caregiver permit in Canada.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

A live-in caregiver work permit is pretty much the same as any other visa. If you want to stay longer in Canada to continue your employment, you have to apply for an extension.<\/span><\/p>

Extending your caregiver permit in Canada to legally stay in the country longer is not as hard as many would think. Especially that this is already an extension, meaning that you are already working there and given the initial working permit. Yet, many workers failed to do so.<\/p>

Here are some tips to remember when planning to extend your caregiver permit:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

It’s advisable to <\/span>apply for a work permit extension at least a month prior to the expiry date<\/b>. This will give you enough time to fix application problems that you might encounter.<\/span><\/p>

Make it a point to ensure that you are eligible to apply for the extension<\/b>. This saves you a lot of time and allows you to know what measures can you do if you are not yet eligible. The most important requirements above are already listed above.<\/p>

Once you have completed your application form, <\/span>you have to mail it along with the other required documents to the address mentioned in the application guide<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>

Once you have submitted the application, you can relax a bit. Your temporary status in the country will hold until the fate of your application is decided.<\/span><\/p>

Typically, the problem arises because a lot of people who are not familiar with travel documents fail to notice the expiration date. Unfortunately, the language of immigration officials can leave one confused. You might have your permit in hand and yet fail to realize the length of stay allowed in the country.<\/span><\/p>\n

A lot of people wonder how to determine when their work permit is expiring. It’s actually pretty simple if you know where to look. <\/span>The date you see on the top right side of your work permit under the heading “valid until” is the expiry date of your permit.<\/b><\/p>\n

Regardless, what will happen to you if you failed to request for an extension?<\/p>\n
