Filipino workers face deportation due to administrative errors in work permit renewals

Three Filipino construction workers in Dartmouth may be forced to leave Canada due to administrative errors in their work permit renewal applications. Immigration authorities rejected their renewals due to missing employer fees and documentation, requiring them to cease work immediately. The workers, who have been living in Canada since 2022 and have applied for permanent residency, now face a 180-day waiting period for new applications with no income. IRCC maintains that applicants are responsible for ensuring complete applications, while experts note this represents a growing trend of rejections for minor, fixable mistakes.
