Open Work Permit​
​
As a foreign national interested in working temporarily in Canada, the first step is to know what type of authorization is required. Individuals may either require a work permit or are authorized by the Regulations. Work permits have different types. An Open Work Permit is one.
​
The latter allows its holder to work for any employer and in any location on the contrary to the other type, the employer-specific permit, which means the foreign worker has to work specifically for the employer mentioned on the work permit and at the specific location.
