Temporary Canadian Work Permit
Every year, over 90,000 foreign workers enter Canada on a Canadian work permit, to work temporarily to help Canadian employers address skill shortages. Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) and Human Resources and Skills Development Canada (HRSDC) ensure that these workers will support economic growth in Canada and create more opportunities for all Canadian job seekers.

Canada offers several opportunities to work and live in Canada as a foreign worker. The process is different from the immigration process.
You will need a job offer from an employer in Canada and this job offer has to be for a job approved by
Human Resource and Skills Develeopment Canada
(HRSDC) in order for permission to be granted. You cannot immigrate with a work permit.
There are several programs available under which you can apply for a seasonal or temporary permit.
