About IRCC Form IMM 5710, Application to Change Conditions, Extend Stay or Remain in Canada as a Worker

The IMM 5710 is an Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada application used by people already in Canada who need to work. You use it to extend or change the conditions of a work permit, to restore your status as a worker if it has lapsed, or to apply for an initial work permit from inside the country. It is a fillable PDF, and you must open it in Adobe Reader so the built in checks work correctly.

After you fill in every required section, you press the Validate button in the form. This runs the form's checks and creates a barcode page that must be printed and included with your application, since your submission is not accepted without it. This page is a free fillable helper and a general guide, not immigration or legal advice. Always download the current official IMM 5710 from IRCC and file it according to their instructions.

Who needs to complete it

• Workers in Canada who want to extend a work permit before it expires.
• People who need to change the conditions of an existing work permit, such as a new employer.
• Temporary residents who need to restore their status as a worker after it lapsed.
• People applying for an initial work permit from inside Canada.
