There are two types of work permit foreign nationals can apply for; employer-specific and open work permit. This is different from immigrating to Canada as work permit allows temporary residence in Canada, while working according to the conditions set. With the recent regulations, applicants are requested to submit biometrics and at times also a criminal record check. It is common for applicants to obtain a work permit before immigrating to Canada as permanent resident.
