HOW LONG WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION

We keep your information only for as long as we need it.

Completed applications. We keep a submitted application, together with the documents attached to it — including the ETA Form 790 job order and any signature you provide confirming it is accurate — for four years after the end date of the work contract it relates to. Where no end date was recorded, the four years run from the date the application was created. After that period the application and those documents are permanently deleted from our systems and cannot be recovered.

Applications you started but did not finish. If you begin an application and do not submit it, we keep the partial information you entered for two months from the last time you worked on it, and then delete it. If you return within that period your progress will still be there; after it, you will need to start again.

Your account itself is not deleted by these periods, and we may keep information for longer where the law requires it. If you would like a copy of your records before they are deleted, or you want them removed sooner, contact us at [email protected].
