Canadian Work Permit The Canadian Work Permit is a document offered to overseas workers who intend to work in Canada. Excluding jobs that are particularly exempted, an overseas person who seeks to work in Canada must apply and obtain the Canadian Work Permit prior to the arrival to the nation. Canadian Work Permit is a provisional residence visa. On the other hand, the Express entry system is the pathway for overseas immigrants to apply and obtain permanent residence in Canada. Work permits are offered to both low skilled and high skilled immigrants seeking employment in Canada. They must, however, substantiate their intention to exit the nation upon expiry of the work permit. Canadian work permit is of two kinds - Employer specific and Open, as quoted by the Canadim. Employer specific Canadian work permit offers approval to an overseas worker to be employed in a specific job with a specific employer. Immigrants with this kind of work permit must obtain fresh work permit to shift job responsibilities under the same employer or work with a new employer. The Open Canadian work permit authorizes an immigrant worker to work for any employer in the nation. But the employer:
  • Must not be disqualified owing to the failure of compliance with the requirements/responsibilities/conditions under the Provisional Overseas Worker program or the Overseas Mobility program.
  • Does not offer usual services that are directly related to adult entertainment.
Open Canadian work permit is offered only to:
  • Applicants of Canada PR who are already residing in Canada and their spouses
  • Spouses of overseas nationals with study permit in Canada
  • Immigrants who have applied for the Canada PR and already possess a work permit that is about to expire soon.
