OWP Visa Extension

If you are looking to extend your stay or ensure legitimate residence status, EV Immigration can help you apply for an Open Work Permit (OWP) visa extension.

Who Qualifies for an Open Work Permit (OWP) Visa Extension in Canada?

To qualify for an Open Work Permit (OWP) Visa Extension in Canada, you must meet specific criteria:

  • You must already hold a valid Open Work Permit.
  • You must be residing in Canada at the time of your application.
  • Your current OWP should be nearing its expiration date.
  • You may be eligible for a one-time extension if you have received an invitation from Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to opt into a streamlined process.

Best Time to Apply for an OWP Visa Extension

You must apply for an OWP extension before your current permit expires. Applying early ensures that you maintain your legal status in Canada while your application is being processed. If your permit expires before you apply, you may lose your status and the ability to continue working.

How Long Does It Take to Process an OWP Extension?

The processing time for an OWP extension can vary. Generally, it takes several weeks to a few months.

Factors influencing the processing time include the completeness of your application, the volume of applications being processed, and whether additional information or documents are required.
