Help Center*PLEASE NOTE - If you would like to extend your stay in Canada to continue working at your camp, your camp must get in touch with our team first in order to begin your online work permit extension application process. Please do not begin your online work permit extension application with IRCC until you have received your instructions from Camp Canada.
I applied for my work permit extension, can I use the same SIN or do I need to renew my SIN?
- If you applied for a new study or work permit before your current document became invalid and you haven't received your new document yet, you can continue to use the same SIN while you are waiting for your permit to be issued while on "maintained status" so long as you stay in Canada.
- However, when you get your new work permit, you should then renew your SIN.
I applied for my work permit extension, but my SIN expired. Do I need to apply for a new SIN?
- If you applied to extend your work permit before your initial work permit expired, you can keep working, even if your SIN is expired. This is allowed under the Employment Insurance Act and Regulations.
