The measures introduced today will now allow visitors to apply for work permits without having to leave the country first.

Key Points: 
  • The measures introduced today will now allow visitors to apply for work permits without having to leave the country first.
  • Foreign nationals who arrive in Canada as visitors after August 24, 2020, are not eligible under the public policy.
  • Prior to this temporary policy change, a person applying as a temporary resident would usually need to apply for their initial work permit before they came to Canada.
  • If they were already in Canada with visitor status when they were approved for a work permit, they would need to leave Canada and return before their work permit was issued to them.
