Thank you for contacting Citizenship and Immigration Canada. I am pleased to follow up on your request:
Work permit - Applying at a port of entry
Generally, if you want to work in Canada, you must apply for a work permit (WP) at a Canadian visa office or online before entering the country.
As an exception, you can apply for a WP at the time you enter Canada if you:
Are exempt from the requirement to obtain a temporary resident visa, and
do not need an Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA), or
have a LMIA from ESDC.
To find the port of entry closest to you which offers immigration services, please visit the Canada Border Service’s website.
An officer will ask you questions to make sure that you meet all the requirements before allowing you to enter Canada. You will not need to fill out an application form; however you must bring the following documents with you:
Payment of $155*,
(If applicable) Additional payment of $100 for open WP applicants,
Job offer or contract,
LMIA or proof that you do not need one,
(If applicable) A copy of the Offer of Employment to a Foreign National Exempt from a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) form (IMM 5802) including the proof of payment by the employer (fee receipt number),
Proof that you have the required qualifications and experience,
Valid passport/Travel document**,
Certificat d'acceptation du Québec given by the Ministère de l’Immigration, de la Diversité et de l’Inclusion (MIDI), if you want to work in the province of Quebec.
Note: If you applied for a WP before entering Canada and you received a letter of introduction from the visa office stating that your application was approved, you must present this letter at the port of entry so that your permit can be issued.
*Ports of Entry accept cash (Canadian and American currency), credit cards (Visa, MasterCard and American Express), money order, traveller’s cheque and certified cheques made out to the Receiver General of Canada.
Sir, Madam,
Thank you for contacting Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada. I am pleased to follow up on your request:
Work permit - Applying at a port of entry
In certain situations you may apply for a work permit when you enter Canada if you:
are from a visa-exempt country, and
do not need an Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA), or
already have a LMIA from ESDC.
An officer will ask you questions to make sure that you meet all the requirements before allowing you to enter Canada. You will not need to fill out an application form; however you will need to bring the following documents with you:
Payment of $155*,
(If applicable) Additional payment of $100 for open WP applicants,
Job offer or contract,
LMIA or proof that you do not need one,
(If applicable) An offer ID number provided by the employer,
Proof that you have the required qualifications and experience,
Valid passport/Travel document**,
Certificat d'acceptation du Québec given by the Ministère de l’Immigration, de la Diversité et de l’Inclusion (MIDI), if you want to work in the province of Quebec.
If you applied for a permit before coming to Canada and you received a letter of introduction from the visa office stating that your application was approved, you will need to present this letter at the port of entry so that your permit can be issued.
