Hi, We are considering hiring an international student who holds a Canadian Study Permit & a Canadian Work Permit both of which expire on July 30, 2021. We are located in Alberta, he would be doing oilfiled heavy labor work. Is there anything that we should be aware of? Any tips that you can provide in reference to hiring an international worker would be appreciated. Thanks, Polly

I have a little knowledge on immigration law. I do know that a Canadian study permit must be formally renewed and that there are formal procedures for securing renewal.
This link provides government instructions on the procedure – http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/study/study-extend.asp
I also don’t believe that the study permit has any bearing on PR status. But again, this isn’t an employment/HR law issue.
I hope this helps!
