The new permanent public rule will permit visitors to apply for a work permit without leaving Canada

Visitors who are at present in Canada and have a valid job offer will have the option to apply for an employer-specific work permit and, if approved, get the permit without leaving the nation, because of another open policy reported today by the Honorable Marco E.L. Mendicino, Minister of Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship.

This temporary policy change takes effect promptly and will benefit employers in Canada who keep on confronting challenges finding the laborers they need, just as temporary residents who might want to contribute their work and abilities to Canada's recuperation from the COVID-19 pandemic.

During the pandemic, temporary residents who stayed in Canada were encouraged to keep up with valid legal status. With air travel limited around the world, a few guests to Canada have been not able to leave, while some foreign workers needed to change their status to guest on the grounds that their work permit was ending and they didn't have an offer for a job to have the option to apply for another work permit. A few employers in Canada have likewise confronted ongoing labors and abilities deficiencies all through this period, including the individuals who give significant goods and services that Canadians depend on.

To be eligible, an applicant looking to benefit from this temporary public policy must

• have valid status in Canada as a visitor on the day they apply
• have been in Canada on August 24, 2020 and remained in Canada
• have a job offer
• submit an application for an employer-specific work permit that is supported by a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) or an LMIA-exempt offer of employment, no later than March 31, 2021
• meet all other standard admissibility criteria
