How to download imm5710 form?
Short answer: Use the official IRCC page, on a computer. IRCC says the form may not open on tablets or phones. Click the PDF link titled Application to Change Conditions, Extend my Stay or Remain in Canada as a Worker [IMM 5710]. If it does not download, right-click and Save as. Open it in Adobe Acrobat Reader version 10 or higher, File then Open, from the folder where you saved it. The IRCC page listed the file at 846 KB and last updated September 2023. Do not fill a random "IMM 5710 2026" copy from a third-party PDF site. Those versions go stale and IRCC can bounce the file.
When you apply online, IRCC also says you receive a personalized document checklist. That online package is the one that matches your stream.
How to complete IMM 5710?
Short answer: IRCC's form page tells you to read the step-by-step instructions on that same page (the "Show instructions" block) and the instruction guide for workers. Fill every field that applies. Sign where the form asks. The guide also covers restoration of worker status if you lost status because you overstayed (but not more than 90 days) or you changed employer, location, or type of work before you had a new permit. You still have to meet the initial requirements and other conditions. Do not leave "UCI" blank if you already have a Unique Client Identifier (UCI). First-timers who have no UCI follow IRCC's UCI help text.

How to upload imm 5710?
Short answer: You upload in your IRCC secure account as part of the online work-permit or extension application, on the document checklist IRCC generates. The form page is a download. The account is the upload. Convert the completed, signed PDF and keep the file size inside whatever limit the checklist shows. If a field on IMM 5710 will not flatten, IRCC's download page is telling you to use Acrobat, not a browser PDF plugin. After upload, pay the work-permit fee on the fee list ($155 per person for a work permit including extensions, unless a different line applies). Incomplete uploads are how files get returned.
If an employer must pay the $230 employer compliance fee, that is their portal step, not your IMM 5710 upload. Guide 5553 says the employer pays that fee or uploads proof of exemption, and must give you the offer of employment number before you submit.
