[kyuteemary04]

hello there! just got here in Canada a few weeks ago as a visitor and i was wondering if i can work here. then i came across the "open work permit" topic in cic. i had some questions and do hope someone can help me to have a better understanding of it.

1. how can i secure an open work permit?
2. what are the documents or forms i need to prepare when applying?
3. is IELTS or any language exams is needed when applying for an open work permit?
4. aside from the basic conditon that i need when applying, is there any other accidental conditions that needs to be satisfy?

It's unlikely you qualify for an open work permit unless there are details about yourself you have left out. Who qualifies for an open work permit can be found here:

And no - you can't work here as a visitor. You need a work permit if you want to work.
