A temporary foreign worker is someone who comes to Canada to do a job for a certain period of time. Many Canadian companies rely on temporary foreign workers to help when there are not enough local employees.

But remember: being a temporary foreign worker means you must follow the law. That means having the right permit and respecting all legal requirements.


Key Steps for a Strong Application

Your application must be clear, complete, and truthful. Here are the basic things to keep in mind.

What Documents Do You Need?

Every application is different, but most people will need:

  • A valid job offer from a Canadian employer.
  • A Labour Market Impact Assessment (if required).
  • A passport that is not expired.
  • Proof you meet legal requirements like health checks or police certificates.

Truong Immigration. helps you gather all the right documents before you submit your application for a permit.


What is a Permit and Why Do You Need It?

A permit is an official paper that says you can work in Canada. If you are a temporary foreign worker, your work permit will list where you work, what you do, and how long you can stay.

If you work without a permit, you can lose your chance to stay in Canada and break legal requirements. That’s why your application must be done right the first time.

The Canadian government has strict legal requirements for all workers.

  • You must prove you will leave Canada when your permit expires.
  • You must have enough money to live while you’re here.
  • You must be healthy and follow any extra legal requirements for your job.

If you don’t meet these legal requirements, your application may be rejected.
