If you are looking for job opportunities, I am talking about jobs that would pay you well, Canada is the best destination
if you want juicy job offers. Both the temporary and permanent jobs. But the sad thing most times is this…not every who
wants to work in Canada is eligible for work permit. Well, I got you as I will be revealing to you works that can be done
in Canada without work permit in this blog post.
- Volunteer Work
You easily engage in voluteer work if you are a visitor to Canada. You don’t need work permit to do so.Before you can
engage in any voluteer work, make sure that your main purpose of coming to Canada is not to engage in voluteer work.
What does this mean? you cannot just wake up one morning while in Canada and start searching for volunteer work. You can
only participate if the voluteer work presents itself.
Another thing to have in mind is this…in some volunteer position, you may be required to undergo some background check
and screening. It is crucial to carry out some research about the voluteer work in order to know if it resonates with you. - Unpaid Internship
International students have the opportunity to participate in unpaid internship, and they don’t need work permit to do so.
This presents a good opportunity to acquire valuable work experience,build your professsional network and even improve
language skill.
You engage in unpaid internship in a variety of fields such as…social services, healthcare, sports, education and
environment. You can search for this opportunity on website like Government of Canada’s Job Bank or Volunteer Canada.
I know you would not be paid, but this a great way to gain practical experience in a given field. Also before you do
unpaid internship, make sure that the internship meets certain criteria in order to be considered legal. For an internship
to be legal, it has to be primarly for the benefit of the intern, does not remove the Canadian worker and does not give
urgent benefit to the employer. - Artists And Athletes
As a foreigner, you are an artist or athlete you can work in Canada without work permit. Before you can be able to carry
out your activities as an artist or athlete, you have to meet certain conditions which are…If you are performing in
Canadian cultural or sport event or if you are participating in a competition with only rookie athletes.
But if the artist or athlete will receive payment for their performance, they will need a work permit.
So therefore, you as an artist or athlete who wishes to work in Canada should better make your research with the type of
situation that resonates with you. - Business Visitor
In case you are wondering who a business visitor is, they are foreigner nationals who come to Canada for the purpose of
conducting and researching international business, they are not really considered actual workers. As a business visitor,
you will not need a woek permit to excute certain business activities in Canada like going for business activities,
meetings and trade shows.
Example of business activities that you are allowed to carry out include…
.Consultations or conferences with business associates, that is, attending business meetings.
.Going to trade fairs and exhibition, but you must not sell anything to the general public.
.Going for site visit or factory inspection.
It is paramount to know that as a business visitor, you cannot participate in the Canadian labour market or undertake
productive work.
