Worker Visa
Worker Visa
The rules for the temporary worker class are MANY and COMPLEX. Generally, a foreign national who wishes to gain employment in Canada must apply for a work permit and you must know which type you are applying for. It can be closed or open or in some cases, might warrant an exemption.
To be granted a work permit, you must be ELIGIBLE AND ADMISSIBLE. There are specific requirements you need to meet depending on where you are when you apply for your work permit. But regardless of where you apply or which type of work permit you apply for, you must:
- Prove to an officer that you will leave Canada when your work permit expires
- Show that you have enough money to support yourself and other family members during your stay in Canada and to return home
- Obey the law and have no record of criminal activity
- Not be a danger to Canada’s security
- Be in good health and have a medical exam, if needed
- Not plan to work for an employer listed with the status “ineligible” on the list of employers who failed to comply with the conditions
- Not plan to work for an employer who, on a regular basis, offers striptease, erotic dance, escort services or erotic massages, and
- Give the officer any other documents they ask for to prove you can enter the country
