TURN MY VISITOR VISA INTO A WORK PERMIT
If you are in Canada on a visitor visa and you suddenly decide it would be a good idea to apply to
work in Canada, you will have to leave the country and apply for a work permit from a Canadian visa
office abroad. In general, it’s not possible to transform your visit to Canada into a temporary work
permit without leaving the country. You have to apply at a visa office in your home country (or an
office that represents your home country in the case of smaller countries without a visa office) and
then, if successful, be issued both a temporary work permit and another temporary residence visa.
However, there are specific cases where you can apply for a work permit from within Canada. This is
not the same as converting a visitor visa into a work permit in one simple step, but it does open up
the possibility of a pathway from a being a visitor to eventually becoming a temporary worker or even
a permanent resident.
