In response to the COVID-19, IRCC eased the visa extension rules
On July 14, 2020, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) announced that temporary residents can restore their visas until December 31, 2020. Earlier, international students, foreign workers and visitors had 90 days after their status expired to apply for a status restoration. Since many applicants who try to maintain a legal status cannot submit full applications, the IRCC allowed all TRV holders whose status expired after January 30, 2020, to apply for the restoration. This temporary policy is also aimed at former work-permit holders to work for their employer before the decision is made, provided they have an LMIA supported or LMIA-exempt job offer. Such workers still are required to notify IRCC about their conditions.
