Converting Visitor Visa to Work Permit in Canada

What is Flagpoling?
Interim Authorization to Work
We have discussed how to convert a visitor visa to a work permit in Canada. Now, let’s understand how Interim Work Authorization works. If you apply for a work permit in Canada while under visitor status, you must wait approximately 135 days to receive it. This means that you cannot work until your work permit is approved.
IRCC addressed this problem through an “Interim Authorization to Work.” With that, you can obtain this authorization to work quickly. You can start working immediately if you have received an employer-specific job offer. It was introduced to address labour shortages, though it is not automatic.
The process for Interim Authorization to Work is as follows:
- Fill out this IRCC web form, which is available on the official website.
- Wait for IRCC to contact you. This may take up to 30 business days (6 weeks).
