A stupid question to ask but a person on visitor visa can work given the job market in Canada as there are so many vacancies

Doesn’t matter that there are vacancies, You cannot work on a visitor visa that would be illegal.

You need a job offer and your employer needs to file for and pay $1k for a LMIA. The LMIA shows that no Canadian or PR could be hired, only you. Then with LMIA, you apply for a closed work permit. For the permit, you show that you are experienced to do the job with employment letters, IELTs and ECAs or your degrees.

A visitor CANNOT work.
You need to get a work permit. Only one with a work permit can work legally in Canada. Working illegally will impact any future visa/immigration applications.
Doesn't matter if there are jobs out there.

No - they cannot work. Working on a TRV is illegal.

Hello.
Is do i need to fill common law declaration form for visitor visa if we don't have anything joint together ?
