Many visitors to Canada have been successful in applying for work permits through the temporary policy that allows them to apply within Canada. This policy was introduced to help address labor shortages in certain industries and to allow visitors who are already in Canada to stay and work legally rather than having to leave the country.

To be eligible for this program, visitors must have a valid status in Canada as a visitor, student, or worker, and must meet certain other requirements, such as demonstrating that they have the skills and experience needed for the job and that the job offer is genuine. The job offer must also meet certain requirements, such as offering wages and working conditions that are similar to those offered to Canadian workers in the same occupation.

While this program can be a viable option for some visitors to Canada, it's important to note that the process can be complex and time-consuming. Applicants must provide extensive documentation, and the processing time for work permit applications can vary depending on the complexity of the application and the volume of applications being processed.

Additionally, not all job offers or industries may be eligible for this program, and competition for some jobs may be high. It's important to thoroughly research the job market and understand the requirements and process for applying for a work permit before committing to this option.

Overall, while the temporary policy allowing visitors to apply for work permits within Canada can be a viable option for some, it's important to carefully consider the requirements and process and to seek guidance from the appropriate government agencies or immigration lawyers before making any decisions.
