All visitors who are in Canada with valid temporary resident status can apply inland for an employer-specific work permit, regardless of when they arrived in Canada. And under this public policy, those who held a work permit in the last 12 months may request interim authorization to work.
The original public policy came into effect on August 24, 2020 and is being extended until February 28, 2022.

IRCC has been testing a new Permanent Resident Portal for applicants who are applying for Permanent Resident under the following programs:
The applications themself do not change, but you will be uploading the documents and some forms in the portal while other forms are replaced by web forms that have almost the same format as the forms.
IRCC also implemented a Permanent Resident Online Portal for Immigration Representatives. That means that as of now we will also be able to apply online on your behalf. You will be able to see what is uploaded and filled out in the web forms and at the end sign the application when satisfied that everything is correct and accurate.
Effective September 7, Canada has opened its borders for all international travellers who are fully vaccinated and meet the exemption requirements.
