Here are some things you should know if you want to work in Canada:
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.
