Hello folks,

I wonder if one visitor visa holder can apply Open Work Permit at the Point of Entry (POE) in Canada.

Thanks in advance!

From CIC website: Most visitors to Canada cannot work or study in Canada without a permit.

If you are visiting Canada and you want to work or study, you have a few options if you still have legal status in Canada.

For a new work permit, you can apply:

from your home country or another country where you are lawfully admitted. Follow the instructions on how to apply for a work permit, or
in person or by mail at the Visa Application centre in New York.
