IRCC warns against rising "dummy work permit" applications from unqualified applicants

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has raised concerns about the increasing trend of "dummy work permit" applications, where individuals submit applications despite knowing they do not meet the qualifications. These applications, often used as a strategy to maintain status in Canada, are facing heightened scrutiny from immigration officials. While the practice has gained popularity due to extended processing times and fewer Express Entry draws, IRCC emphasizes that such applications could result in serious consequences, including five-year inadmissibility periods and potential legal repercussions for non-compliance with immigration regulations.
