Information for Canadian employers: Extending a worker

If you wish to extend employment for a temporary foreign worker beyond the date on the work permit, your employee must taken certain steps.

Your employee must also take steps if the conditions of work change.

The worker must contact Citizenship and Immigration (CIC) immediately to extend or change the terms and conditions of the existing work permit. This step must be done before the work permit expires.

For more information, contact the Call Centre (see Contact Us at the top of this page). Read more about Extending Your Stay in the Work Permit section of Related Links at the bottom of this page.
