Who determines if you are eligible? Well, it is the employer who helps determine if one is eligible. The employer may need to secure a labor market opinion from Human Resources and Social Development Canada (HRSDC). This confirms that the employer can fill the job with a foreign worker.

To work in Canada, a person must meet the general requirements for entering the country and for staying there, in addition to the requirements for getting a work permit. This means that one may need a temporary resident visa.

Be informed that a work permit is not an immigration document. It does not allow a person to live permanently in Canada. If one want to live in Canada permanently, he or she must qualify under an immigration category, such as skilled worker. Live-in caregivers can stay in Canada permanently if they meet certain requirements.

If one wants their spouse or common-law partner and their dependent children to come with them to Canada, he or she must apply to do so.

More information to come about these topics discussed.

Although there are jobs that won’t require a work permit, be advised that there may be other requirements for the job that need to be met.

The two categories that will be further discussed in upcoming posts are coming to Canada as a business visitor and coming to Canada as a business person. These two are different. Subscribe to this site’s feeds to learn more from upcoming entries.
