An Employer-specific Work Permit lets you work under the terms of your work permit. These terms include the following:
Employment permits are only valid for the employer and the job listed on the permit. If you want to change employers, you must apply for a new employment permit that meets the eligibility requirements for the type of permit you want.
When applying for a work permit, you must meet specific requirements based on where you are. However, irrespective of where you apply or which type of work permit you apply for, you must:
Give the officer any additional documents, if they request you, to prove your eligibility to enter the country.
You must produce the following documents while applying for Employer-specific Work Permit.
Due to COVID-19, most applicants must apply online for a work permit. You can only visit Canada if you are excluded from COVID-19 travel restrictions, even if your work permit application has been approved. You must be a fully vaccinated traveller in most cases.
