Canada is actively seeking foreign workers and professionals to help grow its strong national workforce. In most cases, in order to work in Canada, the foreign worker will need a work permit. However, there are number of circumstances where you may be able to work in Canada without a work permit. In addition, there are number of other ways to work in Canada without undergoing the traditional work permit application process, including work permits granted for working holidays, post-graduate work permits or permits issued under international agreements, such as NAFTA and CETA.
