Types of Work Permits


Most people need a work permit to work in Canada. There are two types of work permits in Canada: open work permits and employer-specific work permits.


     1. Open Work Permits: 
An open work permit allows you to work for any employer in Canada, except for an employer:
  • who is listed as ineligible on the list of employers who have failed to comply with the conditions, or
  • who, on a regular basis, offers striptease, erotic dance, escort services or erotic massages.
You can only get an open work permit in specific situations.


    2. Employer-Specific Work Permits

An employer-specific work permit allows you to work according to the conditions on your work permit, which include:
  • the name of the employer you can work for,
  • how long you can work, and 
  • the location where you can work (if applicable).
