Work Permit
A work permit is an official document issued by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) that allows foreign nationals to work legally in Canada. Work permits are typically tied to specific job offers, employers, or locations, but certain permits also allow for open work opportunities.
