Dear [requester],
My question is whether visitors can apply for a work permit while physically being in Canada, but following the process for an
“outside of Canada” application.
| understand that visitors in Canada can only apply for a work permit from inside Canada in a few very specific situations.
These exemptions do not apply to applicants who have had their work permit extension applications refused because their
LMIAs have not been approved in time. These people might be able to restore their status to visitor, but then when they
receive their LMIAs—they are not able to apply for their work permit from inside [requester] is also no longer an option.
Is the only option for these people to leave and then apply from outside of Canada?
Or, is there at way for people who are physically in Canada to use the online application process and apply via the Canadian
overseas mission in their home country using the outside of Canada process?
If that is possible, would the passport request then come from Ottawa?
And would the work permit approval letter allow them to apply a land border?
Thank you for your time and consideration.
