Planning your application
A work permit expiry date should be part of your planning well before it arrives. Continuing with the same employer, changing a role and moving to another permit category can involve different evidence and application steps.
How Value Visa can help
We examine your current conditions, proposed employment and the basis for the next application. Let us know about travel or job changes so we can review their effect on your plan. We assess work authorization individually rather than assuming that submitting any application lets you keep working.
Your review is specific to your circumstances. We explain the proposed work and confirm fees in writing before beginning. Government fees are separate.
Documents to discuss
Bring the records you already have to the consultation. This starting list does not replace the personalized checklist for your application.
- Passport and current work permit
- Employer letter and proposed employment terms
- LMIA or exemption records, if relevant
- Recent applications, decisions and travel plans
For the initial inquiry, describe your situation and deadlines. Ask us how to share sensitive documents before emailing identity or financial records.
Current official guidance
Requirements, fees and processing information can change. Use the official instructions alongside advice about your own circumstances.

Can I work while an extension is being processed?
That depends on your existing status, application timing, permit conditions and other circumstances. Get your specific situation reviewed before relying on continued work authorization.
What will a consultation cover?
We discuss your goal, immigration history and the documents available, identify questions that need further review and explain the scope of assistance. Fees are confirmed in writing before work begins; government fees are separate.
Can Value Visa guarantee approval or a processing date?
No. IRCC makes immigration decisions, and processing times can change. We help prepare a complete, consistent application and explain the next steps without promising an outcome.
