Good Day,

Please provide clarification to the below. This pertains to the length of work time of one in Canada with a work permit
issued under CUKTCA The word “cumulative”...does this pertain to the cumulative time one has physically been in
Canada working OR is cumulative in reference to the total number of months a work permit is issued? For example if a
person has a 12 month work permit and worked a cumulative time of 6 months in Canada during that one month (one
month on, one month home in the UK), are they entitled to another 12 month work permit allowing another 6 months of
cumulative work in Canada? Six months on WP one and six months on WP two for a total cumulative time of 12
months in a 24 month period. Please confirm.

Length of stay
Acumulative period of no more than 12 months in any 24-month period or for the duration of the contract, whichever is
less. Permits for contractual service suppliers and independent professionals may be extended up to 12 months from
‘the start of the initial work permit and must fall within the overall 24-month window permitted for these categories.
Thank you,
