The Canadian government has given another big shock. Now people coming on visitor visa will not get work permit. This new decision has come into effect from 28 August. Earlier, people coming on visitor or tourist visa used to get work permit only after staying in Canada, but now this facility has been stopped.
This process was initiated during this time
This special facility was introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic to meet the labour shortage in the country. The Canadian government allowed people on visitor visas to be issued work permits, allowing them to work there.
Know who will be affected by this decision
Currently, under the new decision, people coming on visitor visa will have to go back to their home country and apply for work permit from there. This move will affect those people who wish to work in Canada and were taking advantage of this facility.
This is how you need to apply for a work permit
This decision will affect those people who wish to work in Canada and were planning to come to Canada under a visitor visa. Now they will have to apply for a work permit from their country. Canadian employers may also face potential impacts as they will have to bring employees under the new work permit rules.
Processing of these applications will continue
Also those who had a work permit in the last 12 months. Initially, the policy was set to expire on February 28, 2025. But Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) says it is now ending the policy as part of our overall efforts to reduce the number of temporary residents in Canada and maintain the integrity of the immigration system. The department says applications submitted under the policy before August 28 will continue to be processed.
