Can I keep working while my extension is processed?
If you apply to extend before your current permit expires, you generally keep working under the same conditions on implied status until IRCC decides. Changing employers may need approval before you start.
What does IMM 5710 cost?
Extending a work permit normally has a processing fee, and an open work permit adds a holder fee. Restoration costs more. Check the current fees on the IRCC website before you apply.
