Business Visitor Immigration

There are some exceptions for occupations and situations where an immigrant is legally allowed to work in Canada without a work permit. Any individual who is permitted to work without a work permit may still be recommended to obtain a Temporary Resident Visa or an eTA (Electronic Travel Authorization) to enter Canada temporarily.

Any person should also be prepared to present immigration officials with all documentation that shows their desired status in Canada. Depending on the situation, the documentation needed may vary. For instance, acquiring a letter of support from a parent company or proof of invitation from a Canadian company can aid in your likelihood of being accepted into Canada.
