From IEC Workinh holiday to Young Professionla

[Gini97]

Hi all,

I'm currently in Vancouver on a Working Holiday Visa. I applied for the Young Professional with my employer and it got approved. Now my Working holiday is expireing soon and I want to activate my Young Professional. Do I need to leave Canada and re-enter or can I use the IMM5710 form which says 'remain in Canada as a worker'. I'm very thankful for any help or idea. Thanks!

The quickest way to activate the YP permit would be to fly out of Canada and back (but avoid the US).

Announced last week is the new option to request your YP permit by post. Though it's too early to know exact processing times, it's expected to take weeks to receive the new permit if applying by post, so if you go with this option, make sure you maintain status in Canada and stop working the day your WH permit expires if the new permit hasn't arrived in the mail yet. Instructions to apply by post are on the IRCC website. Good luck!

Thank you Aiyana! That really helped a lot. I filled it out and hope that it doesn't take to long.
