Work permit and residents in Canada ?

All permanent residents can work in Canada
Newcomers with permanent resident status in Canada are authorized to work for any employer they wish to.

Work permit holders can work in Canada
Foreign nationals can apply for a work permit to work temporarily in Canada. Many have employer-specific work permits. This means that they can only work for the employer named on their work permit. In some cases, as an employer, you may need to obtain a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) before a work permit can be issued. A positive LMIA will show that there is a need for a foreign worker to fill the job and that no Canadian worker is available

In other situations, the worker may be exempt from the LMIA requirement. If that is the case, you will still need to provide job offer information directly to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) through the Employer Portal

Conditions on a temporary work permit can include the work they are permitted to perform, the location of their job, the hours of work and the date when their work permit expires , Some foreign nationals have an ‘open’ work permit, which allows the individual to work for any employer in Canada.

Some international students can work in Canada
Many full-time post-secondary international students holding a valid study permit are eligible to work off campus for up to 20 hours per week and full-time during academic study breaks, such as during summer and winter holidays or spring break. No separate work permit is required for students in this situation – the authorization to work will be printed directly on their study permit
