    Work Visa for Canada From India - Everything Explained

    work visa canada
    (source: bhaskarassets)

    Canada has announced a plan to welcome over 1.3 billion immigrants for the next three years to support the post-pandemic growth.

    Therefore, as an Indian, if you are willing to grab the opportunity and work in Canada, you must apply for a work permit to continue working there without any hassle.

    Read on to know the procedure of getting a work visa for Canada from India.

    What Is a Canada Work Visa?

    A work permit or work visa is an official document issued to foreigners giving them permission to take a job within a country.

    A Canada work permit is a similar document that enables individuals (here, Indian Passport holders) to reside and work in Canada for a fixed duration and under certain conditions.

    Along with a  work permit, Indians need to apply for a Canada Visitor Visa to travel and work freely.

    Each year, Canada issues nearly half a million work permits to temporary foreign workers across the globe. Therefore, it is clear that one can easily get a work permit in Canada.

    There are specific types of visas that Indians can apply for in Canada. These are discussed in the next section.

    What Are the Types of Work Visas in Canada?

    There are two types of Canada work visas available for Indians. These are as follows:

    • Employer Specific Work Visa: Under this Canada work permit variant, Indian working professionals can work for the particular employer mentioned in the visa document. To work in Canada, individuals have to abide by the rules, terms and conditions. Similarly, this type of work visa specifies the name of the employer, duration and location of work.
    • Open Work Permit: This type of work permit allows individuals to work with any employer in Canada. Openwork permit is particularly available under the Temporary Work Permit Program in Canada for those individuals who have been a victim of abuse or are vulnerable.

    Note: Indians or any foreign nationals cannot work for employers who are branded as ineligible. Further, an Open Work Permit is not available for working professionals who work for employers that focus on services like erotic massage, striptease, dance etc.

    What Are the Eligibility Criteria for Canada Work Visa from India?

    To be able to work in Canada and get a work permit, Indian professionals need to fulfil certain eligibility conditions.

    Here is a list of requirements for a Canada work visa for Indian citizens.

    • Proof (to an officer) that applicants will move out of Canada after the work permit duration ends.
    • Proof of having enough funds to support the applicant and his/her family during the applicant’s stay in Canada.
    • Applicants must be in good health and appear for a medical exam if necessary.
    • They cannot work for an employer deemed ineligible by the government.
    • Applicants must give the officer any documents asked for to prove they can enter the country.
    • Applicants must not have any criminal record. Further, they need to submit a police clearance certificate as a testimonial to that fact.
    • They must have proof that they are not a danger to Canada’s security.
    • Individuals should have no intention to work for any employer who offers services like erotic massages, escort services, erotic dance, striptease, etc.
