Canada Ends Work Permit Applications for Visitors

 

Effective August 28, 2024, visitors to Canada can no longer apply for work permits from within the country. This abrupt policy change by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) aims to manage the number of temporary residents and maintain the integrity of the immigration system.

This change underscores the government’s commitment to tightening immigration rules and addressing issues related to temporary foreign workers.
