Understanding the Canadian Visa System

A Canadian permanent resident refers to an individual who has acquired permanent Canada, being a highly developed nation with abundant employment opportunities and competitive salaries, attracts a significant number of foreign workers. To facilitate this, the Canadian government offers various types of visas tailored to different needs.

If you are considering working in Canada, obtaining a Canadian work permit is a crucial step. This permit grants you the authorization to seek employment or enter into work agreements. When applying for a visa to Canada, the work permit application process is managed by the Consular Office.

There are primarily two routes for obtaining a Canadian work permit:

• Temporary Work Visas
• Permanent or Immigrant Work Visas

What Are Canada Temporary Work Visas?

A Canada Temporary Work Visa combines a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) and a Work Permit. The TRV allows for a stay of up to 4 years, and after its expiration, you have the option to renew it or apply for permanent residence (PR). A Work Permit authorizes you to work in your current job or seek new employment opportunities.

Canada's Temporary Work Visa is time-limited, with validity ranging from several months to several years, depending on the specific type of visa. Extensions or a return to your home country are necessary once the visa expires. The maximum cumulative temporary work period in Canada is 4 years, although variations exist based on nationality and visa type.

Staying and working in Canada after your visa has expired is risky and can result in deportation and potential visa restrictions. However, with Canada Visa Assistance, we ensure that your Work Permit is ready before your current permit expires.

Who Requires a Canada Temporary Work Visa?

Anyone planning to work and earn a salary in Canada must obtain a Temporary Work Visa or Work Permit. A work permit is essential if:

• Your intention is to work in Canada with compensation
• Your income is derived from a registered Canadian business
• Your primary place of work is in Canada
• Your earnings are deposited in a Canadian bank account
If your work is based outside Canada, and your visit to Canada is short-term for work purposes, a work permit may not be necessary.

THE IMPORTANCE OF THE PERMANENT RESIDENT (PR) CARD

Your PR card serves as official proof of your permanent resident status in Canada. When traveling outside Canada, you must present both your PR card and passport when re-entering the country through commercial means such as airplanes, boats, trains, or buses. Individuals who lack a valid PR card or fail to carry it while traveling abroad must apply for a permanent resident travel document before returning to Canada via commercial transport.

PR cards are sent exclusively to addresses within Canada. In certain cases, you may need to collect your card in person from a Canadian government office.

If an error is identified on your PR card, you can request a reissuance. Occasionally, names are abbreviated to fit on the card, which is not considered an error. Information on rectifying inaccuracies on your PR card can be easily obtained.
