A student is permitted to work for twenty hours a week without a work permit while studying in Canada.

Upon completing graduation from an eligible Canadian Designated Learning Institution (DLI), a student is eligible for a Post-Graduation Work Permit.

It proves that you meet the requirements to enter Canada as a temporary resident. Canada allows individuals to come for tourism, business purposes, or visit family and friends. In order to enter Canada, a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) is required, which may be for single entry or multiple entries.

Canada issues two types of Visitor Visas:
1. Single entry visas: These are issued for a period of up to 6 months

Federal Skilled Trade Program (FSTP)

Labour market impact assessment ( LMIA)

Employers willing to hire a temporary foreign worker need to submit a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA). Under the Temporary Foreign Workers Program, employers can hire workers temporarily to overcome temporary labour and skill shortages.

LMIA program’s purpose is to justify hiring foreign workers by showing that there is no qualified Canadian worker for performing the job. Therefore, a foreign worker is needed to fill the job. The LMIA applicants must display their efforts in hiring Canadians and permanent residents before they can offer a job to a temporary worker.

The employers must get LMIA before hiring a foreign worker, and the LMIA document acts as a government approval for the individual they choose to hire. On obtaining a positive LMIA, the employers can forward it to the foreign worker they want to hire so that the person can submit it with their work permit application.

Before applying to become a foreign worker, a person:

9

Needs to prove to an officer that they will leave Canada on the expiry of their work permit.

9

Must show that they have sufficient money to support themselves in Canada.

9

Has no record of criminal activity and are not a danger to Canada's security.

A temporary foreign worker has an opportunity to apply for permanent residency if they wish to do so.

Work Permit

Foreign nationals require a work permit to work in Canada. A work permit is a legal document that permits a foreign national to work inside Canada.

Open work permit

Any foreigner wishing to work in Canada requires proper authorization in the form of a valid work permit. The open work permit is not tied to a single employer or location. The foreign national having a work permit can work for any employer in any location throughout Canada. Labour Market Impact Assessment is not required for open work permits.

Open work permits are issued under the following immigration programs:

9

Post-Graduation Work Permits (PGWP)

Inland Spousal or Common-Law Sponsorship
