ALL ABOUT YOUR WORK PERMIT
Apply to work in Canada, extend your work permit in Canada or change the conditions of your work permit. There are two types of work permits:
Open work permits and
Employer-Specific work permits.
An open work permit allows you to work for any employer in Canada, except for an employer:
- who is listed as ineligible or
- who regularly offers striptease, erotic dance, escort services or erotic massages
You can only get an open work permit in specific situations, such as: if you:
- are an international student who graduated from a designated learning institution and are eligible for the Post-Graduation Work Permit Program
- are a student who’s no longer able to meet the costs of your studies (destitute student)
- have an employer-specific work permit and are being abused or at risk of being abused in relation to your job in Canada
- applied for permanent residence in Canada
- are a dependent family member of someone who applied for permanent residence
- are the spouse or common-law partner of a skilled worker or international student
- are the spouse or common-law partner of an applicant of the Atlantic Immigration Pilot Program
- are a refugee, refugee claimant, protected person or their family member
- are under an unenforceable removal order
- are a temporary resident permit holder

An employer-specific work permit allows you to work according to the conditions on your work permit, which include:
- the name of the employer you can work for
- how long you can work
- the location where you can work (if applicable)
