Depending on where you live and the reason for your visit, you will need to meet certain entry requirements. In most cases, if you plan to stay in Canada for a certain period of time, you will need a Permit as a Student, Worker or Visitor.
If you are looking for the best, we are here to help you and provide you with the best service.
If you are a citizen of certain countries, you may need a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) to enter Canada.
If you plan to study in Canada, you must obtain a study permit before leaving your current country of residence. However, there are a few exceptions.
The International Co-op (Internship) category is designed for citizens of certain countries who are students registered at a post-secondary institution in those countries and who intend to complete a work placement or internship in Canada (up to 24 months) to fulfill part of their academic curriculum.
The International Co-op Work Permit is only valid for one employer.
International students who have applied and been accepted to a Designated Learning Institution (DLI) may apply for a Canadian Student Visa to be able to come to Canada and complete the specific program for which they have been accepted.
If you complete a certificate/diploma/degree program at a public college/university or private school, which confers a degree, you are eligible to obtain an open work permit for up to 3 years, depending on the length of the program.
Jobs that require a positive LMIA (Labour Market Impact Assessment) in addition to a Work Permit
In most cases, a Canadian employer wishing to hire a foreign worker must first receive government approval before the hiring can take place. This is to ensure that no qualified Canadian is passed over in favour of the foreign worker, and that the foreign worker receives a wage and benefits that meet federal and provincial standards. Government approval comes in the form of a positive Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA).
Travellers with passports from visa-exempt countries entering Canada by air will need an eTA.
The authorization is electronically linked to your passport and is valid for five years or until your passport expires, whichever comes first.
