Yes, most foreign nationals can apply for a Canada work visa if they meet eligibility requirements. A valid job offer from a Canadian employer is usually needed, often requiring a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA), except for LMIA-exempt categories like international students, spouses, intra-company transferees, and certain agreement participants.
The work visa allows temporary legal employment in Canada and can lead to permanent residency through programs like the Canadian Experience Class.
Eligibility criteria include:
- Valid job offer (if required)
- Medical exam and police clearance
- Valid passport
- Compliance with permit conditions
