Help Center*NOTE - The below information only pertains to you if you are a Mexican Citizen and have been given instructions by Camp Canada to apply for your work permit online.
What happens after I submit my online work permit application to IRCC?
After you submit your online work permit application to IRCC, you should receive a ‘Work Permit Submission Confirmation’ letter in your IRCC account confirming that they have received your application.
As soon as you receive this letter, please upload a copy to your ‘Documents’ section of the Camp Canada portal under ‘Work Permit Submission Confirmation’ so that our team can push your application forward as soon as possible.
You may receive the following letters from the Government of Canada in your IRCC account:
-
Biometrics Instruction Letter (BIL) - Once your work permit application is submitted, you may be asked to give your biometrics (if applicable). Follow the instructions in this letter to make a biometrics appointment within 30 days of receiving your letter. You may refer to this link to find your closest Visa Application Centre (VAC) collection site.
-
Passport Request Letter - Once a decision has been made on your application, you may also be issued a temporary resident visa (if applicable). You do not need to apply for this separately; however, you will need to submit your physical passport to a VAC so that they can insert your temporary resident visa into your passport before you can travel to Canada. Follow the instructions in this letter and submit your passport within 30 days of receiving your letter.
How long does my application take to be processed?
Please see this article for more information on Processing times.
What happens when IRCC makes a decision on my application?
Once you have been approved for a work permit, you will receive the following letter from the Government of Canada in your IRCC account:
-
Port of entry (POE) Letter of Introduction - This is your “Approval Letter” that you must print out and bring with you to Canada to show the officer in order to obtain your physical work permit. Please upload your “Approval Letter” on your Camp Canada account in the ‘Documents’ section, under ‘Upload Now’, where it says ‘Approval Letter.’ You must complete this step in order to move forward in our portal.
If your application is denied, please email a copy of your letter to workpermits@campcanada.ca so that we can see the immigration officer’s reasoning for the refusal. Once we review this, we will be in touch with you regarding next steps.
It is important to continue to check your emails, IRCC account, and Camp Canada account for updates throughout this process.
