Applying for a Work Permit Inside Canada

Applying for a Work Permit Inside Canada
Who is eligible to apply from within the country?
Expert guidance from Amin Pardaz International | Updated: May 2025

A common question from Canadian immigration applicants is:
“Can I apply for a work permit while inside Canada, or do I have to leave the country?”

According to the latest CIC News report, IRCC (Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada) has clarified eligibility for those who can apply without exiting Canada.

🔹 Who Can Apply for a Work Permit from Inside Canada?

1. Holders of valid study or work permits:
   If you currently hold a valid Study Permit or Work Permit, you can apply for a new work permit from within Canada.

2. Family members of study/work permit holders:
   Spouses, common-law partners, or parents of international students or foreign workers are eligible.

3. Recent graduates eligible for PGWP:
   Students can apply for a Post-Graduation Work Permit within 180 days of receiving their final transcript.

4. Applicants with a valid job offer:
   If you have a formal job offer from a Canadian employer, you can submit your work permit application from inside Canada.

5. Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) applicants:
   If you have received a nomination or invitation from a province or territory, you may apply for a work permit internally.

6. Visitors who previously held work permits:
   Those who previously held a work permit and are now in visitor status may reapply under specific conditions.

7. Participants in special programs like IEC:
   Eligible candidates in the International Experience Canada (IEC) program can apply domestically.

🔹 Key Reminders:

• Always apply before your current permit expires—ideally 30 days in advance.

• If your permit has already expired, you may need to apply from outside Canada.

• All documents must be complete and error-free.
