China News Service, September 21. According to a comprehensive report from the Canadian Sing Tao Daily, which temporary residents can qualify for a work visa without leaving Canada during the epidemic?
The Canadian Federal Department of Immigration recently announced more details of the relevant New Deal.
According to CIC News, the temporary new policy announced last month allows qualified foreign citizens with valid status to apply for work permits supported by work contracts from within Canada.
This also means that qualified foreign citizens will not be denied a work permit if they fail to comply with certain temporary residence conditions.
In addition, qualified former temporary foreign workers may be allowed to work while waiting for a work permit.
Foreign citizens who want to be eligible to apply for a specific employer work permit without leaving Canada must have legal visitor status in Canada or stay in Canada with implied status.
They need to be in Canada on August 24, 2020, and have not left Canada since.
They can only submit work permit applications for specific employers.
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) requires staff to consider the expiration date of the approved residence period as the decision date for the work permit application.
In addition, temporary workers converted to "visitor" status will be allowed to work as long as they meet some of the following qualification requirements.
These requirements include:
·Have a valid temporary resident status as a visitor and physically reside in Canada on August 24, 2020, and must stay in Canada from then on;
·Hold a valid work permit in the 12 months before the date of submitting the work permit application in accordance with the new policy, even if you are currently living in Canada as a visitor;
· Must intend to work for the employer listed in the work permit application submitted under the new policy, and the occupation must be specified in the labor market impact assessment (LMIA) or LMIA exempt work contract in the application;
·Have used the IRCC online form to apply for temporary work authorization from IRCC;
· The application period for the requested work authorization is set until the decision on their work permit application is made.
Traveling to the border due to immigration services is currently considered "non-essential travel". Before the new crown pneumonia epidemic, foreign citizens had to leave Canada and return to "activate" their visas. Canadian Immigration Minister Marco Mendicino has stated that this new policy will allow temporary foreign workers and Canadian employers to skip this step while the epidemic measures are still in effect, thus helping them. .
