Work Permit or Temporary Foreign Worker Program
Every year, over 150,000 foreign workers enter Canada to work temporarily
in jobs that help Canadian employers address skill shortages, or as
live-in caregivers. A work permit is needed for most
temporary jobs in Canada, though for some positions and
business people it is not necessary. Canadian laws protect every
worker in Canada. This includes temporary foreign workers like you.
Some temporary workers require a work permit and some do not. The requirements and processing times depend on the sort of work you will do when you come to Canada. But, for some categories of workers, permits are approved more quickly.
- The program also issues work permits to the spouses and common-law partners of work permit and study permit holders in Canada, which enable them to work during their spouse's or partner's term of employment or studies.
-
Individuals who are already legally in Canada as temporary residents (i.e. visitors, students or workers) and who wish to extend their stay in Canada, or change the conditions of their stay, must contact CIC for information on specific application requirements.
You can work as a temporary foreign worker in different provinces across Canada when there is a demonstrable shortage of Canadians citizens
and permanent residents, under the “Pilot Project for Occupations Requiring Lower Levels
of Formal Training (NOC C and D) for a maximum of
24 months.
