Can I take my personal driver with me on a visit of Canada from Saudi Arabia?

[Muhammad.ali379]

Hello and good day,
This is Muhammad Ali, 44 years old from Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. I and my wife are teachers in Saudia Arabia.

We have planned to visit canada in these summer vacations. Me and my Wife already visited United Arab Emirates and Turkey.

I'm here to get some information about, can I take my driver with me. My driver is basically from Pakistan and I wish i could take him with me because i don't drive. If so, Please guide me in proper way.

All the suggestions/Recommendations will be highly appreciated.

Kind Regards
Muhammad Ali

I think that the answer is probably no, at least not as your driver.

Firstly, your driver would require a visa to VISIT Canada.
Secondly, as a VISITOR, your driver would not be allowed to work in Canada, which acting as your driver, would be the case.

If you require a driver, you will need to employ someone with authority to work in Canada. This would be either a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident. Alternatively a person holding an open work permit could also do this.
