Help Center*NOTE: Camp Canada will provide you with the relevant information and required steps to start the online application process. Please wait for our instructions and do not start an online application independently if you would still like Camp Canada’s support.
As a result of The Canadian Government news release and the travel requirement changes that went into effect on February 29th, 2024 11:30 PM EST, the work permit process is different this season for Mexican citizens.
Instead of applying for your work permit at the Port of Entry (POE) upon arrival in Canada like in seasons past, citizens of Mexico must now apply for their work permit online and receive an approved work permit before travelling to Canada to work at camp (regardless of having a valid eTA).
There is quite a lot of work involved to complete the online application and the processing time of a submitted application could take several weeks or months. Therefore, it is very important that you complete your steps as soon as possible to avoid any delays.
While Camp Canada will do everything we can to help you through this process, there are risks associated with moving forward, which you should be aware of:
-
While we will do our utmost to support you, it will be your responsibility to complete and submit your online application to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
-
The application process is more rigorous and requires you, as the participant, to collect and/or create more documents than you would have previously had to do to obtain your work permit at the border.
- There may be added travel required, should you need to travel to a Visa Application Centre (VAC) to give your biometrics after your application has been submitted.
-
Application processing times for this work permit are unknown, might be quite lengthy and are out of our control. As a result of this, we will only be able to provide updates as we receive them.
-
We do not advise you to book flights before your work permit has been approved. As a result, you may need to book flights with a quick turnaround time that could come at a higher cost.
-
Once you have submitted your complete work permit application and all supporting documents to IRCC, you will then need to upload proof of this to your Camp Canada account.
