Work Permit for Refugee Claimant in Canada

Foreign nationals submitting a claim for refugee protection in Canada can apply for work permit simultaneously. The individual doesn’t need to pay any fee for applying for a work permit for refugee claimant if they are waiting for a decision about their refugee claim. As an applicant, you must submit the following documents,

  • A copy of the refugee protection claimant document
  • Proof of immigration medical examination
  • Must submit evidence showing that you need a job to fulfill basic requirements such as clothing, food, and shelter.
  • If you want to request a work permit for your family, submit documents stating they live with you.

Refugee claimants are eligible for an S61 open work permit to pursue work or study while awaiting the decision. Upon approval of the claim, you can apply for permanent residency status in Canada as a protected person. Once your application for the work permit is approved, you can apply for a Social Insurance Number or SIN.

If your application gets refused, you must leave Canada immediately. Keep in mind that in Canada, refugee claimants may apply to the Newfoundland and Labrador Provincial Nominee Program or Atlantic Immigration Program. Work permit for refugee claimant may vary based on several factors, such as the complexity of your application. Remember that the work permit is not tied to your refugee claim.
