While the process of converting a Canada visitor visa to a work permit is not always straightforward, it is possible under specific conditions. If you are in Canada as a visitor and looking to obtain a work permit, this guide will help you understand the process and what you need to do next. Can You Convert a Canada Visitor Visa to a Work Permit? Yes, in certain circumstances, visitors can apply for a work permit without having to leave Canada. Due to recent policy changes, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has made temporary provisions that allow visitors to apply for a work permit from within Canada if they meet specific eligibility criteria. Steps to Convert a Canada Visitor Visa to a Work Permit 1. Secure a Valid Job Offer challenging, especially for dry cleaners, clothing retailers, and rental services. Traditional inventory management methods, such as manual tracking and spreadsheets, often lead to errors, misplaced garments, and operational inefficiencies.

  3. 2. Apply for a Work Permit from Within Canada If you are currently in Canada on a visitor visa and have received a valid job offer, you may be eligible to apply for an employer-specific work permit. Under the temporary public policy, visitors who have held a valid work permit in the past 12 months may even be eligible to start working while their application is being processed. 3. Submit the Work Permit Application Applications for work permits can be completed online through the IRCC portal. It’s crucial to provide all necessary documents, including: Processing Time and Approval Processing times for work permit applications vary depending on workload and policy changes.
