A foreign individual (i.e., one who is not a
Canadian permanent resident or citizen) who
intends to work in Canada is typically required
to possess a work permit or other authorization
to legally do so.

Such authorization may come in various forms, and
often requires advance approval prior to being
eligible to enter Canada for work.

Significant complexity may surround the process
of securing the proper authorization to work in
Canada.

• International Treaties such as the North American
  Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), the Canada Chile
  Free Trade Agreement (CCFTA), or the General
  Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS)
• Obtaining a work permit is often a first step
  towards eventual immigration to Canada. Keeping
  your work permit current helps to ensure that a
  future immigration application to Canada will be
  simple and straightforward and not complicated by
  a loss of legal residency status.
