Eligibility and Guidance

In select situations, you can work in Canada without a formal work permit — but these exemptions have very specific rules. You may qualify if you’re a business visitor, foreign representative, or part of a performing arts group, athlete, emergency service provider, academic speaker, or clergy, among other exemptions.

Common Mistakes

Common mistakes include confusion around eligibility, leading to refusals or issues at the border. Many applicants mistakenly assume they qualify for an exemption or fail to provide the necessary documentation for their specific exemption category.
