Work permits are necessary for engaging in most types of employment in Canada. Temporary workers must also meet the requirements that apply to all temporary residents in order to come to Canada.
Most people are required to get a job offer validation from the Human Resources and Social Development Canada (HRSDC) before they are able to receive a work permit. The employer must demonstrate to HRSDC that the applicant is required to fill the job opportunity. HRSDC takes into consideration the impact of hiring a foreign national on the Canadian labour market.
Depending on the nature of the employment and where the applicant has lived during the past year, one may be required to undergo a medical examination and produce a satisfactory medical assessment before a work permit can be issued.
Work permit holders should ensure that both visitor status as well as the expiry of their work permit does not expire while in Canada. In certain cases, spouses of work permit holders may qualify to work in Canada as well.
