The Government of Canada has extended temporary COVID-19 measures for Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) holders introduced in August 2020, until February 28, 2023. Temporary residents who possessed a valid work permit in the last 12 months can apply for a work permit and request Interim Authorization to Work until next year. This policy allows TRV holders in Canada to apply for employer-specific work permits from within Canada without leaving the country. Before, individuals holding TRV were not able to change their status in Canada without leaving the country.
