Citizenship and Immigration Canada has announced that temporary residents seeking work permits or extensions of their stays in the country now can apply online. The online option, however, will not be available for co-op program work permit applications.
The online application will reduce processing time because, unlike paper applications which might be submitted partially complete, thereby requiring their return, online applications must be fully completed at the time of submission.
