Dear Miss Powell,
I read one of your articles where you said that a visitor can get a work permit. I came to Canada to visit my sick mother; now she has recovered nicely, but I don’t want to leave her alone. I am a practical nurse and so I was looking online to see how I can convert my visitor’s visa to a work visa, but can’t see where to download the forms or where to send in an application. Can you guide me, please?

Dear A.I.,
There is a temporary policy in place where visitors can apply to extend their stay in Canada as workers. This policy is applicable to persons who have entered Canada before August 24, 2020, maintained your legal status, and can satisfy the criteria to received work permit.
