Your work permit is expiring, you haven't received an ITA, and you're thinking:
I did everything I was told and now I might have to leave anyway.
You're not alone — and you're not out of options.
This quiz walks you through the same logic our experts use to identify your work permit options and triage them
Who's it for:
You're already in Canada with a work permit that's running out.
You want a real plan — not a gamble.
Why it matters:
Here's what we see constantly:
People file a work permit application — any application — just to trigger maintained status and buy time.
But IRCC triages those files and refuses them fast. You've burned your timeline, wasted your money, and potentially flagged your file for future applications.
Federal and provincial programs are also shifting right now — caps changing, programs cancelled, priorities rewritten.
Your PR strategy can't be a single bet. It needs to run alongside a work permit extension and a backup plan.
This quiz is how you start.
Why Navio:
Most immigration help falls into two camps:
firms that sell you more than you need at a price you can't justify, or
DIY guides that leave you second-guessing every step.
Navio is the gap in the middle.
Strategy and frameworks first. Human in the loop when you want one.
