zeefa:

U guyz should understand that there are differences btw student visa and TRV visas to canada. If you have a student visa, at the point of entry in canada, you will be issued with study permit.

But in the case of TRV

Canadian Work Permits

Canada has some of the best employment opportunities of anywhere in the world. The country relies on a steady stream of immigrant workers who come both to work and to live in Canada. This beautiful country attracts many thousands of people every month due to its booming economy and welcoming attitude,

A Canada work permit is a well-known stepping stone to residency and applications for visas of this kind are designed to help Canadian employers who are finding it difficult to fill positions with Canadian permanent residents or Canadian citizens. However, we aim to ensure your Work Permit can act as a stepping stone to Citizenship.

Applying for a Canadian working permit makes provision for working in Canada without the need to undergo a points based assessment. Canadian work permits allow you to work in the country; however, they are dependent upon a job offer from a sponsoring company.

Working permits are not transferable, although you can apply for a Canadian visa for immigration of another type during your stay. Whilst in Canada, immigration status can only be altered in this way so long as your permit is still valid.

Who is Eligible? 

A Canada work permit rests upon a written job offer from an employer.

Once you have received such an offer, in most cases it is then subject to confirmation by Human Resources and Skills Development Canada (HRSDC) who will assess the likely impact of employing a foreign national in the position in question, to ensure that the employment is genuine and that it will not impact negatively on the domestic labour market.

HRSDC 

Once HRSDC confirms that job offers may be filled by foreign nationals, applicants may request Canadian working permits from Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC).

Foreign workers seeking to work in Quebec will also require authorization from the Quebec immigration authorities.

Employers sponsoring a foreign national for a work visas in this way are responsible for ensuring that the candidate is in possession of the necessary permits and that they adhere to the appropriate conditions and limitations.

Further Criteria

For your case to be approved, you will have to supply evidence to the Canadian government that you are in good health and do not have any serious criminal convictions. This evidence will take the form of a medical examination and a full police report from your current country of residence. 

A Path to a New Life in Canada

Work permits are a great way of getting that all-important work experience that you need to take the next steps in becoming a citizen. Although work permits are temporary, some people see them as an ideal route to a longer-term solution. One of our clients explains how this worked for him:

“Getting my Canada work permit was the first step for me becoming a citizen. I know that this is not what Work Permits are for but after working in Canada, I completely fell in love with the country. Originally, I contacted IXP to help me find work anywhere- I was simply desperate to find new opportunities away from home country. Then an opportunity arose in Canada, although it was only temporary. I decided to take my chances and soon enough I was working just outside of Edmonton. Once my permit was almost up, I called IXP again to see what they could do for me; I wanted to stay but didn’t know if I would be able to. Thanks to my new work experience in Canada, I was allowed to apply for a longer term visa once I had secured a new job offer. It took a lot of hard work but I knew that IXP were trying their best to find work for me. They put me in touch with a local employer who was willing to sponsor me and that led to me on the path to citizenship.”

Pls ready the above to kw better
