You can work in Canada as a temporary foreign worker. Workers who arrive in Canada enjoy parity in salaries and the same rights as Canadian Citizens or Permanent residents. Most foreign nationals must make a work permit application before being allowed an entry into Canada. The initial steps include obtaining a positive LMIA. A Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is a document that an employer in Canada needs before hiring a foreign worker. LMIA indicates a need for a foreign worker to fill the job. The application for the work permit can be made once a positive LMIA is obtained by the Canadian employer.
LMIA exemptions- There are few instances where LMIA is not required to obtain a work permit. Common instances include spouses of International students or workers who are eligible for grant of open work permit ( OPW). International students are also eligible for such open work permits under Post-Graduation Work Permit Program (PGWPP)
