Exploring your options to stay in Canada
If your work permit, study permit, or PGWP is ending, there are often several legal pathways to consider. We'll review them with you in one structured consultation.
What your consultation covers
Review of your current immigration status and expiry timeline
Eligibility overview across PR, work permit, study permit and visitor record
Bridging Open Work Permit (BOWP) discussion if you have a PR application
LMIA, PNP and Express Entry strategy framing based on your profile
Implied / restoration of status explanation where relevant
Clear next steps and document preparation guidance
Pathways we typically review
Final eligibility and recommended strategy depend on your individual profile.
Frequently asked questions
Generally, apply at least 30 days before expiry. Implied status only applies if you submitted a valid application before your current permit expired.
If you applied before expiry under the same conditions, implied status may allow you to continue working until a decision is made. We'll review your specific situation.
Restoration of status may be available within 90 days of expiry. Timing is important — book a consultation as soon as possible.
