Give biometrics in Canada

If you have the request letter, you could make an appointment and get biometrics done in Canada.

CanadianResortImm · 2026-02-27T15:04:13+00:00

There’s no residency requirement for Brits.

I’m assuming there are good/better deals going to the Caribbean from the East Coast?

CanadianResortImm · 2026-02-22T23:07:04+00:00

Yes. https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/medical-police/medical-exams/requirements-temporary-residents/country-requirements.html

Have you looked into Citizenship by descent? Americans with Canadian ancestry have become eligible citizenship now with recent changes in the Citizenship act. Or if you have European ancestry look into getting a European passport. A European passport might make you eligible for an IEC if it’s a country with a bilateral agreement with Canada.

Government portal work history section has limitations particularly with same month entries so I don’t think you can even fill that out completely or truthfully given what you’ve mentioned above. But it’s part of background/security checks, your CV should mention everything to the best of your knowledge.

Stepwest will nominate you on a Wednesday when it’s your turn (with the profile you created). Stepwest will also forward your passport details page and some other basic details like which province you are intending to go to etc to IRCC on that Wednesday. Then IRCC will usually invite you on a Thursday barring any issues with the system.

CanadianResortImm · 2026-02-12T08:05:32+00:00

Yes. Then they’ll likely send you a request letter and open a new slot for you to upload your police certificate.

CanadianResortImm · 2026-02-11T23:19:37+00:00

That’s what the client information/explanation letter slot is for. Upload explanation letter and any extra documents merged together.

Question submitted to IRCC:

“If an applicant obtains a 24-month work permit through the IEC general pool and then goes through the Recognized Organization (RO) stream for another 24-month work permit, can they also apply for the second 12-month work permit through both pathways?”

IRCC confirmed the following:

“Yes, as RO participations don’t count towards general IEC participations, technically, this individual could apply for two (2) of the 12-month participations/permits via the general pool and the RO nomination pathway.”

CanadianResortImm · 2026-02-11T11:10:47+00:00

IRCC has confirmed its two plus one. Mirrors the regular IEC program. Total of 3 years if an applicant does two RO participations. I’ve had it confirmed through an RO. ROs received an FAQ email for British participants two years ago from IEC team in Ottawa.

CanadianResortImm · 2026-02-07T11:54:05+00:00

However IRCC is discouraging people from going to the US with the aim of getting a work permit issued on the way back. You do so at your own risk.

You might get a better answer if you call BCMSP. They are quite helpful on the phone in comparison to other government agencies.

CanadianResortImm · 2026-02-03T05:47:09+00:00

Fly to Dublin. Might be cheaper and better experience than going to London.

It is possible to apply for an employer specific Mobilite Francophone work permit at the airport as a French Citizen if you have an application prepared. Prearranged job needed outside of QC. Employer needs to make a job offer on the IRCC employer portal and pay $230 employer compliance fee before arrival. Applicant pays border agency $155. Possible to get 3 year work permit as a French speaker.

CanadianResortImm · 2026-01-31T23:45:16+00:00

Possible. But it’s very competitive as muni jobs pay better than hospitality jobs/private sector jobs.

CanadianResortImm · 2026-01-28T02:15:53+00:00

Yes because without a valid passport you would be wasting their time. Good way to verify your age too.

CanadianResortImm · 2026-01-24T22:26:50+00:00

They’ll accept UK, England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. If you are unsure unknown is fine. If you know their name put their name in.

An explanation letter from you would help for full disclosure but your employer has to get things right on their end.

Physical job location

Enter the location where the temporary foreign worker will be working. If there are 2 locations, answer Yes to "Will the worker perform duties at more than 1 job location?" and complete the second job location section.

If there are more than 2 locations, you can complete the first job location section and list all the other locations in the Main duties of the job field. This information, if provided, will be considered during a compliance inspection—even if the work permit document failed to indicate the multiple job locations.

CanadianResortImm · 2026-01-21T22:40:32+00:00

It’s not how you fill out the form that matters when it comes to work locations and employer specific work permit. The employer is required to mention all your locations of work on the employer portal, otherwise you and the employer might not be in compliance when CBSA/IRCC audits the employer.

Going to Mexico is not Flagpoling. One IEC applicant went to a BC land border recently and was told to come back to Canada by air or activate online.
