My work permit is about to expire and I have already applied for renewal. Can I continue working while I wait for a decision

In many cases, if you submit your renewal application before your current work permit expires, you may continue working under the same conditions while waiting for a decision. This is often referred to as maintained status.

It is important that your renewal application was properly filed before the expiration date. If so, you can usually keep working for the same employer until immigration authorities make a decision on your application.
