I have temporary resident status (e.g., a study permit, work permit or temporary resident visa) which is due to expire shortly. What should I do?
Temporary residents already in Canada may apply to extend their temporary status according to normal procedures, and these applications will be considered on an expedited basis. Fees associated with these applications will be waived. Should temporary residents identify a hardship due to the situation in Haiti, CIC will consider this as an additional factor within existing guidelines. Persons who have already submitted an application to extend their temporary resident status will benefit from keeping that status until a decision is made and they are notified. For existing in-Canada applications, applicants may contact the Call Centre at 1‑888-242-2100 (in Canada only, from 7 am to 7 pm Eastern time Monday through Friday), or by email at question-Haiti@cic.gc.ca. The Call Centre will notify the Case Processing Centre and these applications will then be processed on a priority basis.
