Religious Foreign Worker

[Awmf2014]

Hello,

My outland application for PR is currently under process, and I am in Canada under a visitor record.

I have just applied for a job for a religious organization, and I would be required to organize events that would lead people to grow deeper in their faith. I was researching online on the CIC website and I noticed that jobs for religious purposes (clergy/lay people) may not require a work permit.

My main question consists of two parts: would this category of work require a work permit or not? If I do need a work permit, what should the salary be? Is there a set rule on how much one can or cannot be paid?

Someone with expertise on this please advise.

Hello, You are allowed to work with or without a work permit while working with a religious organization. Usually , it is unpaid or you could get stipends. Were you able to get the job ? Good luck !
