No matter what the situation is Canada is always on the go for improving its economy day by day. This does not mean the country is carelessly calling everyone and anyone despite the unforeseen conditions prevailing all over the world. Here, people are not left alone and are considered an important part of the Canadian family. That’s why Canada’s focus is to bring skilled and qualified people (who can be the master of one trade!) to contribute towards their growing economy. The Maple Country is still accepting work permit applications (because hello! The world needs to move on, right?).
Do you know that Work Visa Canada is issued under the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC)? The TFWP is intended to help Canadian employers recruit foreign workers in response to labour market shortages. There are four streams with which TFWP is made: High-skilled workers, low-skilled workers, the Seasonal Agricultural Worker Program, and the Live-in Caregiver Program. (Don’t panic, we will let you know these programs in detail sometime later!).

Who all are invited to come into Canada amid lockdown by land or air?
- Temporary workers who hold a valid work permit or who are approved with a valid work permit but have not yet been issued.
- Foreign workers who have not yet activated their work permits must have a valid job offer to enter
- A worker who has already activated their work permits and was outside Canada (due to reasons best known to them) do not require a valid work job offer to re-enter
- As you know COVID-19 is on a different trip altogether, so if you’re travelling by air, you need to follow all airline requirements and pass a health check conducted by airlines before you’re allowed to board your flight. If god forbid, you show symptoms you will not allow entering Canada by air.
- When you arrive in Canada, they will assess your health before you leave the airport. Get quarantine for 14 days when you arrive in Canada. This is mandatory for every person irrespective of symptoms or no symptoms.
