Work and Study Permit Replacement Consultant North York
Our Work and Study Permit Replacement Consultant North York service helps replace a valid permit that was lost, stolen or destroyed. Mirzoyan Immigration Services checks your permit details and supporting records, then prepares the agreed replacement request. If your status also needs attention, your consultant explains the separate application that may be required.
✓ Confirm whether replacement is the correct document service
✓ Organize identity, permit and loss records
✓ Avoid treating replacement as an extension of status
Who is this service for
A missing or destroyed permit can leave you without the document you need for work or school. We help you identify the right application and prepare the replacement request.
Lost or stolen permit holders
Your paper work or study permit is missing. You need the replacement request supported by available copies, identity records and an account of the loss.
People with destroyed documents
The original permit has been destroyed, and you need to confirm the records required to replace the still-valid document.
People unsure whether status also needs action
The permit may be expired or close to expiry, so replacement must be separated from any extension, restoration or new permit application.
What Work and Study Permit Replacement Application Support Includes
01
Confirm the correct service
Review whether the issue requires replacement of a valid document, an extension, restoration, a correction request or another immigration application.
02
Check identity and permit details
Compare passport information, any permit copy, IRCC correspondence and account records. Record the requested permit number or its issue and expiry dates under IMM 5009.
03
Document the loss, theft or destruction
Prepare a consistent explanation and supporting records. Guide 5545 requires a police report number for loss or theft. IMM 5009 instructions also request a brief explanation if no number is available. Review that difference before submission; an explanation does not guarantee acceptance.
04
Prepare the replacement request
Complete the agreed application and supporting document package using the current IRCC instructions for replacement immigration documents.
05
Review related status concerns
Identify expiry or status issues that replacement cannot solve and explain which separate application may need consideration.
06
Manage agreed follow-up
Review IRCC requests and prepare the additional information covered by the written service agreement.

Document issues we check before submission
A replacement request should identify the original permit and explain why it is unavailable. See the national permit replacement page. IRCC returns an application without processing if a document required by the IMM 5009 checklist is missing.
No copy of the missing permit
Use the permit number or its issue and expiry dates to identify the requested document. Without either, IRCC issues the last temporary resident document. Requesting another valid document then needs a new form and fee.
Loss and theft records that conflict
The application explanation, police report and dates should describe the same event. Differences need clarification before the request is filed.
Replacement confused with status renewal
A replacement document reproduces evidence of an existing record. It does not extend an expiry date, restore lost status or create new work or study authorization.
Eligibility requirements at a glance
This application replaces a valid temporary resident document that was lost, stolen or destroyed. It does not extend status, change permit conditions, restore status or replace an expired permit.
| Requirement | Basic requirement |
|---|---|
| Replaceable document | For this page, the document is a valid work permit or study permit. Guide 5545 also addresses specified other temporary resident documents and Verification of Status requests. |
| Document remains valid | IRCC can issue a replacement only for a temporary resident document that has not expired. An expired document requires assessment of the person's status and the appropriate separate application. |
| Loss, theft or destruction | Explain what happened. Guide 5545 requires a police report number for loss or theft. IMM 5009 asks for a brief explanation if none is available; assess that difference before filing. |
| Identity and document details | The application needs enough identity, immigration-history and document information for IRCC to locate the record. Include the supporting copies required by the current form and checklist. A Canadian mailing address is mandatory for replacement of a valid temporary resident document. |
| Separate status applications | Replacement does not extend the permit's expiry date or provide new status. An extension, change of conditions or restoration request uses a different application and fee. |

Work and Study Permit Replacement Fees and Processing Times
These are government charges in Canadian dollars. Professional fees and other application costs are separate.
| Government fee | Amount (CAD) | When it applies |
|---|---|---|
| Replace an immigration document | $30 CAD per document | Applies to replacement of an eligible valid work or study permit. |
This is a document-replacement fee. It is not a work-permit or study-permit extension fee and does not restore or extend temporary resident status. Guide 5545 lists limited fee exemptions for specified assistance recipients.
Processing times
Check IRCC’s processing-time tool for Verification of Status or replacement of an immigration document, if listed. The estimate can change and does not extend your underlying permit.

Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to get a replacement study permit?
Study permit replacement timing depends on IRCC’s current queue for Verification of Status and replacement documents. Check the current processing-time tool before making plans. Initial study-permit estimates refer to a different application. A replacement keeps the original expiry date. Waiting for a new paper document does not extend your status or study authorization.
What should I do if I lost my Canadian study permit?
If your lost study permit remains valid, request its replacement using IMM 5009. Follow the identification checklist and use your name at entry. Guide 5545 requires a police report number; IMM 5009 also asks for an explanation if none is available. Review that difference before filing. Replacement cannot restore expired status, so check any separate status deadline.
What should I do if I lost my IRCC work permit?
Request replacement of a lost, still-valid work permit through IMM 5009. Guide 5545 requires a police report number; the form instructions also ask for an explanation if none is available. Review that difference before filing. Replacement preserves existing permission and conditions. It cannot change employers, remove restrictions or add time; those changes require the appropriate separate application.
How can I replace my immigration documents in Canada?
The replacement route depends on the document; this service covers valid work and study permits that were lost, stolen or destroyed. Complete IMM 5009 and follow Guide 5545 for supporting copies, payment and mailing. Do not send originals unless IRCC requests them. Historical landing records, PR cards and expired status require different handling.
How much are IRCC fees?
IRCC fees vary by application; replacing an eligible work or study permit currently costs $30 per document. Check IRCC’s current fee list before paying. That amount covers document replacement only. New permits, extensions and restoration have different charges and requirements. Professional fees and outside expenses are separate and depend on the work agreed in writing.
