The announcement of the 2022-2024 Immigration Levels Plan made applicants worry about the inability of the Canadian Government to handle such a huge number of applications. According to the Government website, open work permit applications issued under the temporary resident to permanent resident pathway will expire on December 31, 2022. After the announcement of the new immigration levels and the record number of applicants that Canada is planning to invite, applicants worry that their open work permits can expire before being processed.
