Hello everyone! How are you all? I’m back today with a new video. So in today's video, we are going to talk about a very important thing,
which is work permit extension. So a few days ago, news came that work permit holders could extend their work permit for 18 months.
This is a very rare thing, and I had never heard of it. But finally, this thing is happening. So whatever the details are,
I will share them with you. So, if you didn't like the video, then like it quickly. Let's start the video and talk about what those things are
and how you can do them. I will also tell you the whole process because I have to do this now,
and at the same time, I will teach you how you too can opt in. So, let's quickly start the video and see how things work.
So according to this news, anyone whose work permit expires after April 6, 2023, can apply for an extension of 18 months.
So how do I get that extension? I was also very confused. I did some research and found out that it is not that difficult.
There is an option on the official website on which you can easily opt in by visiting and getting your address verified
so that your work permit will be extended, and you will get the extension in a few days.
dSo in the extension, it is like the month of May is going on now; if you apply in May, then assume that your 8 months are up to December;
if your permit is expiring in December, like mine, then you will only get an extension of 10 months. Overall, it is for 18 months;
it is not as if your work permit is going to expire, then after that, 18 months will be extended.
So it is very important to have this thing clear so that everything is clear to you. The second thing is that they have given a date;
those who are eligible must have received the email. I have received two emails from them, and if you are eligible,
meaning if your work permit is expiring this year, they will send you an email saying that you can apply for an extension of 18 months.
So a date is mentioned in the email that if you apply before that, it will be done easily, and if you apply after that,
you will have to apply for a work permit from the beginning, and you have to pay a fee for that.
But if you apply before May 20, you will be allowed the option to opt in, and I don't remember the exact date of May,
but you will see it on the screen.
But this will give you clarity that if you want to apply, then do it before May. If I talk about myself, then my PR is applied,
and it can come anytime in the coming 1-2 months. And according to that time, if I get extended for 10 more months,
then it is enough for me. Enough talk; let's go to the screen, and I will tell you how to select options and how you can opt in for a work permit.
So let's go.
Ok, so now we have come to the GC account, and everyone will have this account,
and this is the account from where you applied for your work permit file.
If you do not have an account or you do not remember the account, then you can also create a new account and link this application to it.
To see how to do that, click here. You can fill out your details of your work permit, and your application will be linked.
When it is linked, you will see an option scrolling down: Post-Graduation Work Permit Holder
Extend your open work permit for up to 18 months. So this is the option that will allow you to extend your work permit.
So let's click here to see what's next. So after clicking, I saw the e-service here. So here you have to enter your work permit application number,
so I put my application number here. Here you have to enter the issue date of your work permit.
I have opened my work permit on my mobile. My work permit issue date is December 6, 2020, and I selected the yes option here.
Now we will continue, and now here is the option to select this passport number, and this is my passport number, which is absolutely correct.
Here all my details came up, like the issue date of my passport and its expiration date, which is absolutely correct.
Here I will enter my email ID, my telephone number, and my current address. It is asking, "Is this my current address?
I don't see any addresses here.
Maybe it got auto-populated, due to which the address is not showing here. I think I applied for a work permit in Ontario.
So here, the address is not getting populated.
So, here I will select the no option because when I am selecting the yes option here, it is completely blank.
So I select no and enter my details. I am hiding all these things because they are personal details,
but you will know which details have to be filled out.
So here we put in the details, and we'll select the city, select Winnipeg, select the province, select Manitoba, and put in our postal code.
That's all.
We will once again check all the details to see if everything is correct or not. Check email addresses and phone numbers very carefully.
You can use hyphens on your Canadian phone number. So, after filling out all the details, you have to click "opt in.
And you can see that you have successfully submitted your application and profile. So you have seen how simple the process is;
you just have to verify all the details and opt in. There is no difficulty in this. Earlier, I didn't have clarity about the entire process,
but everything was very simple, and they just told me to confirm all my details, and then everything should be good.
Just keep in mind one thing: if you don't remember the password for your GC profile and you create a new GC profile,
then link your application to your new profile first. You can watch a video on YouTube on how to link your application.
Usually, people link their PR application, so you can get an idea of how to link it by watching that video.
The rest of the process is the same for linking the work permit application, and make sure to verify your details properly.
You must be aware that there is a strike going on with IRCC employees, which may cause delays in this process.
And the last thing is that if you apply before May 20, 2023, your work will be done easily. Otherwise, if you apply later,
you will have to go through the entire process again. You will have to submit every document again and redo everything,
making it a tedious process. I suggest that if the option is available now, apply as soon as possible; it won't take much time.
And if you don't remember the GC password, I have also provided a solution for that. So, my work is done, and I hope you liked the video.
Let me check my email quickly to see if there is any email that has come in so that you can also get to know about it.
So far, I haven't received any email, but it is showing here that 'Congratulations, you have successfully submitted.'
So, I believe everything is good. That was the simple process for today's video. I hope your doubts have been cleared through this video.
