Foreign nationals must obtain Canadian Temporary Work Permits frоm thе Cаnаdіаn government in order to work in Canada. To obtain a реrmіt there must be a job offer from a Canadian citizen or permanent resident in Canada. This is an important first step for many who seek to become a permanent resident themselves and Migrating Bird Immigration Services will help you every step of the way.
The two kinds of Canadian Temporary Work Permits are an Open Work Permit and an Employer-specific Work Permit.
Open Work Permit
An open work permit is offered in specific situations and allows you to work for any employer in Canada unless they are on the list of employers who have failed to comply with the conditions or are involved in businesses offering striptease, erotic dance, escort services, or erotic massages
You may be eligible for an open work permit if you:
- are an international student who graduated from a designated learning institution and are eligible for the Post-Graduation Work Permit Program
