Automation tools to improve processing for work permit extensions and PGWPs
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) is expanding its use of proven automation technologies to process work permit extensions and post-graduation work permits (PGWPs) more efficiently. New automated tools will be used to help process work permit extensions and PGWP applications according to their complexity, which will help enable quicker decisions for some applicants.
Automated tools are part of IRCC’s commitment to using technology responsibly to build a stronger immigration system for the benefit of all of our clients. Our tools are reviewed routinely to make sure they work as intended and that the results are consistent with applications that receive a full human review. Only an IRCC officer can refuse an application; the automated tools do not refuse or recommend refusing applications.
