Does a temporary foreign worker (TFW) have to maintain their work permit if they have submitted an application to or received a nomination from the AINP?
Yes. An application to the AINP or a nomination from the AINP is not a work permit renewal and does not give a TFW status in Canada. It is the responsibility of the Alberta Employer and the TFW to ensure that the work permit of the TFW is valid throughout the AINP process and until receiving permanent residence status from Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC). All applications for work permit renewals must be made through CIC and should be made well in advance of the work permit expiry date.
