Canada lists 3 work permit requirements for foreign workers

n n

Canada has reminded foreign workers in the country of key requirements they must follow to ensure they continue working legally.

n

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) said having a valid work permit is the first step to working legally in Canada.

n

The department shared the reminder in a post on its official social media account, urging foreign workers to understand the conditions attached to their permits and take action when their circumstances change.

n

According to IRCC, foreign workers should take the following three steps:

n

1. Understand the conditions on your work permit

n

Foreign workers are expected to understand and comply with the conditions listed on their work permits.

n

These conditions may determine what type of work they can do and other requirements attached to their authorisation to work in Canada.

n

2. Apply to extend your work permit before it expires

n

IRCC advised foreign workers who need to continue working in Canada to apply for an extension at least 30 days before their current work permit expires.

n

Workers should check the expiry date on their permit and make the necessary application early to avoid complications.

n

3. Apply to change your work permit conditions when necessary

n

Foreign workers whose circumstances require different work conditions should apply to have their permit conditions changed.

n

IRCC stressed that workers should ensure their work permits accurately reflect the conditions under which they are authorised to work.

n

The department’s reminder highlights the importance of maintaining valid work authorisation and complying with the conditions attached to a Canadian work permit.

n

Foreign workers are encouraged to review their permits regularly and take the necessary steps before their documents expire or their circumstances change.
