Update to Extension of the Public Policy – Open Work Permit for Foreign Workers with a Support Letter from a Province or Territory

On January 21, 2025, the MPNP published that IRCC had extended this public policy until December 31, 2025. This policy update for Manitoba has not yet been finalized and the link to IRCC’s policy published in our announcement on January 21, is no longer valid. Details are still being completed and any updates will be posted on this page as soon as they become available.

In the interim, please remember it is a temporary resident’s responsibility to ensure that their immigration status in Canada remains valid and legal.  You may visit IRCC’s website for more information – Temporary Residents – Canada.ca.
