On December 31, 2021, the Government of Canada updated the list of programs exempted from the in-Canada mandatory electronic application (e-application) requirement for temporary residents.

As of now, live-in caregiver applications for permanent residence (A71), start-up visa work permit applications (A75), and Guatemalan workers’ applications for non-Seasonal Agricultural Worker Program (SAWP) can be submitted online.

These work permit applications are no longer part of the list of exemptions.

In addition, the Government added 2 groups of applicants to the list of exemptions.

These are applicants with the following travel documents from a visa-exempt country: alien’s passport for stateless persons and other refugee travel documents for non-citizens.
