Off-Campus Work Permit (OCWP) Loss of Eligibility Reminder

This is a friendly reminder that you will need to give up your Off-Campus Work Permit immediately if you belong to either of the two categories listed below. To assist you in assessing your situation, we have referenced the Student Acknowledgement and Consent Form that you signed and submitted to Canada Immigration when you applied for your off-campus work permit:

"If after being issued a work permit, I become ineligible (i.e. I am no longer a full time student or do not have satisfactory academic standing, or have transferred to an institution that is not participating in the program):

  1. I will inform my employer that I am no longer authorized to work
  2. I will surrender my work permit to CIC."

If you have become ineligible, please write a letter addressed to CIC and state that you have now stopped working and you are surrendering your Off-Campus Work Permit.  You may mail the letter together with the original Work Permit to:

Citizenship & Immigration Canada
Case Processing Centre 
6212 - 55th Avenue
Vegreville, AB, T9C 1W5

Please remember to keep a copy of your cover letter and Work Permit for future reference.  We also strongly recommend that you notify our office - International Education - that you have surrendered your work permit.

If you do not comply with the terms and conditions of your work permit, it may result in enforcement action or invalidation of your study permit and may negatively impact any future immigration applications.

For any questions or concerns, please feel free to come and see us in Room C2-07 - International Education Office or visit your International Advisor at your home campus.
