Canadian Business Visitors – Work In Canada Without A Visa

Certain individuals may enter Canada to conduct business or trade activity without the need for a work permit. In Canadian immigration law, these individuals are known as business visitors.

A business visitor is a foreign national who comes to Canada to participate in international business activities, but who will not enter the Canadian labour market. Subject to the nature of the work, as well as the individual's nationality, certain business visitors can enter the country to conduct business or trade activity without needing a work permit.

You may qualify as a business visitor if you are a foreign national who plans to visit Canada temporarily to look for new business opportunities, to invest or to enhance existing business relationships.
