Dear [requester],
I was wondering if'you could clarify when applications for the PNP Candidate Open Work Permit
(htps://www. canada ca/ervimmigration-refugees-citizenship/services/work-canada/permivopen-work-permit-worker-with-
support-letter. htm!) were accepted until?
As] do see that the website was updated on February 12, 2025 to signal that Applications are now officially closed. Could your
office please confirm whether applications submitted between January 1, 2025 to February 11, 2025 are to be eligible for
consideration and processing?
Applicants and the general public have previously seen media reports and some government statements published around
January 20, 2025 regarding IRCC’s extension of the subject PNP Candidate Work Permit policy to December 31, 2025, but
now it seems that the extension is no longer in place. Can you please clarify when the extension policy was revoked and which
dates applications for under this policy would no longer be eligible?
We are inquiring, as one of our clients had submitted his application on January 25, 2025 under this policy. We are worried
whether or not his application will be accepted for processing based on the policy directive.
‘Thank you for your kind response,
