WHAT STEPS SHOULD YOU TAKE?
Step 1: Apply for Work Permit
Submission of applications for Work Permit must be done online (with a very few exceptions).
If you are from a country that requires a visa to enter Canada and if you are applying from outside Canada, a Visitor Visa (TRV) is issued upon approval. Applicant applying from inside Canada will have to apply for a TRV separately after their work permit is approved, if they would like to travel outside Canada and return.
Step 2: Get your fingerprint and photo taken (Biometrics)
You and any members of your family between 14 and 79 years old need to give your fingerprints and photo (biometrics). You only need to give your biometrics once every 10 years. If you gave biometrics in the past as part of an application for a visitor visa, work or study permit and they’re still valid, you don’t need to give them again.
You will be contacted to give your biometrics and you will have 30 days from the date on the letter to do it.
In order to give biometrics you need to go to an official biometrics collection service point. You must give your biometrics in person.
Before you go, check the location’s website for its services and fees at (➨ immilib.com/Biometrics).
Step 3: Work Permit Issuance
If your application is approved, you’ll get a letter that says you’re allowed to work in Canada. The work permit will be mailed to your Canadian address.
