Open Work Permit
A Person To Work In Canada
An Open Work Permit is a type of work permit that allows the holder to work for any employer in Canada. It is a flexible and convenient option for individuals who wish to work in Canada temporarily, but do not have a job offer from a specific employer.
To be eligible for an Open Work Permit, you must meet the following criteria:
- You must have valid temporary resident status in Canada as a visitor, student or worker.
- You must not have a work permit that is valid for six months or less.
- You must not have a condition on your work permit that restricts the type of employment you can take.
- In some cases, individuals may be eligible for an Open Work Permit if they are the spouse or common-law partner of a temporary foreign worker or foreign student in Canada. This type of Open Work Permit is known as an Inland Spousal Sponsorship Open Work Permit.
- Individuals who meet the eligibility criteria for an Open Work Permit can apply for it from within Canada or from outside Canada. The processing time for an Open Work Permit can vary depending on the specific circumstances of the case and the processing location.
If you are interested in obtaining an Open Work Permit, it is important to seek the assistance of a qualified immigration professional to ensure that you have the best chances of success.
