Pursuant to
Canada Immigration laws, a foreign national may not engage in
employment in Canada unless authorized to do so under Canada
Immigration law. In many but not all instances, a Work Permit is
required and will only be issued by a Canada Immigration officer
after Human Resources Development Canada ("HRDC") approves the
employment offer of a prospective Canada employer to a foreign
national.
HRDC considers
whether the prospective employer has made reasonable efforts to hire
a Canada for the employment opening and whether or not the wages and
working conditions of the employment offered are sufficient to
attract and retain a Canadian in the employment. HRDC can also
consider other elements that might indicate a benefit for Canada and
Canada employment-seekers.
In most
instances, once HRDC has approved an employment offer, it sends the
approval to Canada Immigration officials and the foreign national
will be contacted by the Canada Immigration office. He/she may be
asked to go to an Immigration interview and/or to undergo an
Immigration medical examination at his/her own expense. Canada
Immigration officers must examine whether a person is entering the
labour market, rather than just applying the test of whether the
foreign national intends to engage in an activity for which he/she
might reasonably be expected to receive valuable consideration. If
the foreign national meets all Canada Immigration requirements and
has all of the necessary Canada Immigration documents, he/she will
receive an Immigration Work Permit.
The
Immigration Work Permit will state that the foreign national can
work in a specific employment capacity for a specific period of time
for a specific employer. An Immigration Work Permit will NOT be
issued to a foreign national to come to Canada to look for
employment.
