Foreign nationals with a visitor visa will be able to apply for a work permit in Canada until 2025
Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada Sean Fraser said so on his Twitter page.
"If you’re already in Canada as a visitor and received a valid job offer, we are extending your ability to apply for or extend a work permit in Canada by another 2 years as of today.," Fraser wrote.
This is great news for visitor visa holders!
Confirmation of this can be found on the official website of the Government of Canada.
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) did extend a temporary set of measures allowing visitor visa holders to seek and extend employment. This temporary set of measures was put into practice during the pandemic to fill the country's labour shortage.
Normally, foreigners with a visitor visa cannot apply for a work permit in Canada.
