| Every year over 90,000 foreign workers enter Canada working temporarily
to help Canadian employers address skill shortages in Canada. Citizenship
and Immigration Canada (CIC) and Human Resources Development Canada
(HRDC) ensure that these workers will support economic growth in Canada
and create more opportunities for all Canadian job seekers. In
almost all cases you must have a valid work permit
to work in Canada.
Foreign workers may do some jobs in Canada without a permit.
The Worker's Role: Temporary workers must
also meet the requirements that apply to all temporary residents
in order to come to Canada. Find out what you must do before working
in Canada.
The Employer's Role: Before a foreign
national may work in Canada, you, as an employer, must check with
HRDC to confirm the job offer you have made to the foreign worker.
Find out what you must do before you can hire a foreign national.
What HRDC will do: HRDC's role is to
provide advice to CIC regarding the impact on the Canadian labour
market that the entry of a foreign worker will have.
