Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has updated its policy regarding continued work authorization under section R186(u) for applicants awaiting a decision on their work permit renewals.

The revised instructions clarify that the interim proof of work letter provided to applicants is now valid for 365 days. Importantly, if an application remains in progress beyond the date specified in the letter, workers may continue their employment until a final decision is reached, provided they still meet all regulatory requirements.

Clients are no longer required to request a secondary letter from IRCC to maintain their legal work status during extended processing times.
