Can I work in Canada with a Canadian tourist visa?

I believe many people will work in Canada with tourist visas. In fact, this is illegal in Canadian laws and regulations. Once discovered by others, they will be repatriated and may lose the opportunity to re-enter Canada in the future. In fact, if you want to work in Canada, you still have a labor visa to choose from! So those who want to work in Canada, please apply for a Canadian work visa.

The legal way to work in Canada is:

You must find an employer in Canada who is willing to hire and guarantee you. The employer will apply to the Canadian Human Resources Department for LMO approval, and then go back to Canada to apply for a work visa before landing in Canada.

Application materials:

After obtaining the letter of appointment from a Canadian company, the applicant needs to apply for a visa at the Canadian embassy in his own country. When applying for a visa, he must bring a letter of appointment from a Canadian company and documents suitable for the job. In addition to the letter of appointment, you only need to prepare the following materials:

(1) Fill in the work visa application form, agent information form and list of work visa application documents.

(2) Household registration book, ID card and passport.

(3) High school education or above.

(4) school transcripts.

(5) Resume of the applicant.

(6) passport photos.

(7) signing a contract with a Canadian employer.

(8) Provide notarial materials, such as professional and technical certificates, graduation certificates and other notarial certificates.

(9) Work and work permit in Canada.

Tourist visa: a fast visa application method established to facilitate tourists to develop tourism resources. Generally, the validity period and stay period are relatively short. Generally, the length of stay abroad is 30 days, and the longest is 90 days. And it is limited and can only be used for tourism-related activities. Tourist visa holders are not allowed to work in the local area or engage in activities unrelated to tourism.

Labor visa: refers to that applicants and foreigners whose household registration is not in their own country apply to other countries' embassies and are employed by formal institutions certified by other countries. Work visas are documents that allow them to work in other designated countries, and they are legally binding non-immigrant documents.

Matters needing attention in handling labor contracts

1. The obligations and responsibilities of the employer, responsible for handling visas and residence permits for foreign workers and providing accommodation for foreign workers. Have the obligation to ensure the safety of workers.

2. The obligations and responsibilities of laborers shall abide by the laws and regulations of the host country and the rules and regulations of the enterprise, and make it clear that their work content is not passive. According to international practice, workers should enjoy the holidays stipulated by the host country.

3. The wages, allowances and subsidies of workers should generally be the same as those of workers in the host country. If they work outside the prescribed working hours, the employer must pay overtime.

4. The employer shall provide the safe workplace according to the regulations of the host country, and must pay the labor protection expenses and supplies. The employing unit shall purchase personal accident insurance for the workers, and the insurance expenses shall be borne by the employing unit.

5. Generally, workers with a contract period of more than one year can enjoy home leave. During the holiday period, the employer only pays wages and does not pay allowances.

Finally, Bian Xiao mentioned another note. Entering the country with a tourist visa, you can't work in your country. In order to defraud labor agency fees, many black intermediaries apply for tourist visas for laborers, falsely claiming that they will reissue work visas after arriving in the local area. In fact, they don't have suitable jobs at all, and the workers have to return to China, and they can't even get back the agency fees they have paid.
