How can visitors get work permit without leaving Canada - new temporary policy Aug 25
- Thread starter jazzfam
- Start date
One can apply for a work permit at any time. The announcement on Aug 25 simply said that one won't have to leave the country then come back to obtain the work permit itself.
Since I applied before Aug 25, I wasn't eligible for that and had to go to the border to obtain my work permit.
I applied in May and got mine in September. So it took 3.5 months, as I said in a previous post.
I have tourist visa to Canada and I am coming in one month, I would like to know how I can get work permit so easily in half an hour?
Thank you buddy..

I have applied work permit in September 22 and October they asking additional documents ..I submitted the documents..but still no reply..
I am visitor with nominated by the province..
I don’t know why too much of delay..
is it possible if go flagpole..
Before temporary policy announced I have applied inside Canada..also New York visa office..but they refused..
How are you coming to Canada on a visitor visa. Do you have immediate or extended family in Canada? If so, Do you have written authorization to travel from IIRC? How are you eligible for a work permit?
You need a job offer from an employer in Canada and an approved LMIA from that employer.
Again, you need a job offer from an employer in Canada and that employer needs to get an approved LMIA. Then you will qualify for a work permit.
All the policy does is allow visitors to apply for work permits from within Canada (rather than having to apply from outside of Canada). A job offer and approved LMIA is still needed.
So you'll need to find an employer if you want to try to qualify for a work permit.
