From 1. In May 2017, eligible citizens of certain visa-required countries will receive an eTA when they renew their work permit. The eTA is electronically linked to the passport you used to renew your authorization and is valid for five years or until your passport expires. You can only use the eTA if you are travelling within Canada or travelling across Canada by air. You will receive a letter from us with information about your eTA number and its expiry date. To view the current status, see Check the status of the app. For more detailed information on the co-op work permit, please visit Immigration Canada`s Co-op program and Internship page.
