For all nationalities, a work permit is required for Canada. For temporary work an employment authorization can be applied for in respect of a specific job for a fixed period. Alternatively, it is possible to apply for a permanent resident immigration visa (formerly called “landed immigrant status”), which grants the right to remain and work in Canada indefinitely and without restriction.
A permanent resident visa is similar to having “green card” status under the U.S. system.
