Canadian visitor visas are issued to tourists and business travelers who do not plan to work in Canada. For some activities, like after-sales service or guest speaking, individuals may be exempt from needing a work permit but still require a visitor visa. Visitor visas provide a simplified alternative for many situations where a work permit would otherwise be needed.

To study full-time in Canada, individuals must have an acceptance offer from a recognized institution, prove they have sufficient funds for at least their first year, and show intent to leave Canada after completing their studies. Study permit holders can work up to 20 hours per week during terms and full-time during scheduled breaks, provided they remain enrolled in a full-time program.

A Canadian work permit is a legal document that allows foreign nationals to work in Canada, specifying the job, employer, and duration of employment. An Employer-Specific Work Permit restricts you to a particular job and employer, often requiring a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) to demonstrate that no Canadian citizens or permanent residents are available for the role. In contrast, an Open Work Permit provides greater flexibility, allowing you to work for any employer in Canada (with some exceptions). This type of permit is ideal for spouses of skilled workers, international students, and participants in specific programs.
