Canada Work Permit: The Canadian government is closing the facilities given to visitors coming to the country. Canada is closing the visitor work permit facility, which has been implemented from 28 August 2024.
Canadian government stops visitor work permit: There is a big news for people going to Canada or we can call it bad news as well. Because the Canadian government is stopping the facilities given to the visitors coming to their country.
The Immigration Refugee and Citizenship Canada, the immigration unit of the Canadian government, has issued a notice regarding this. In this notice, it has been told that Canada is closing the visitor work permit facility, which has been implemented from 28 August 2024.
Earlier in Canada, the rule was that people going to Canada on visitor visa were allowed to do temporary work, apart from this, people were also given visitor work permit by the immigration unit.
Now the Trudeau government has made the rules more stringent for people living in Canada on visitor visa. This means that now those people will not be able to apply for work permit even while living in the country.
This rule was started in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic. During that time, many people were stuck in Canada and were unable to go back. This was the reason why the government allowed them to work while living in Canada and this rule was going to end next year i.e. by February 2025, but now the government has implemented it from 28 August.
What IRCC says is that all those who have applied before 28 August 2024 will be considered as per the old rules. Regarding this decision, experts say that this is another new way to reduce the number of immigrants from the country.
In fact, due to many reasons like rising house prices in Canada, pressure on health services and elections, the government is constantly taking such decisions.
