Work Permit
Canada is a place where many foreign nationals make their dream career possible with a work permit. Work permit makes you eligible to work in Canada under a specific (i.e., Job Specific) or any employer (i.e., Open Work Permit). The job-specific work permit exempts you from compliance fees under your application. With Open Work Permit, you can work with multiple employers and in any field. For most foreign nationals, a work permit is mandatory as it gives you government approval for working in Canada.
Work permit has certain requirements depending upon the location and the work type you are interested in working. The Canadian VISA officer figures out the work permit duration for you, which is between 1 and 2 years. The time of a job-specific work permit differs from employer to employer and can also go more than two years. Like other stay options, the work permit also requires renewal before the expiry.
