TEMPORARY STATUS
Working in Canada
For Workers:
Applicants intending to work in Canada and to be paid a wage or commission need
to obtain a valid work permit issued by CIC (Citizenship and Immigration
Canada), which states that an employee can work at a specific job for a specific
period of time and for a specific employer. A separate visitor visa may be
placed in the passport of an employee.
It is the responsibility of an employer to get confirmation of the job offer
from HRDC (the Human Resources Development Canada) which then must be send to
the employee so he/she can provide it to an immigration officer when applying
for a work permit. The employer is responsible for arranging worker's
compensation and medical coverage when the employee arrives in Canada.
