Canada Working Visa

How to Get a Canada Working Visa from Thailand

The Canadian government promotes the migration of skilled foreign workers through its various immigrant workers' welfare programs. However, to enter Canada legally and work at a Canadian company, an appropriate visa and permit are required.

If you're planning to travel to work in Canada, you must secure a Canada visa, specifically a Canada Working Visa or Work Permit from the nearest Canadian Embassy in Thailand before you leave.

All of this, however, requires that you have an offer of employment from a Canadian company. If you do not yet have one and want to apply or interview for a job in person in Canada, a Canada Tourist Visa is likely your best option.

Canada Working Visa Requirements

In order to apply for a Canada Working Visa from Thailand, you will need to provide the following documents:

• Completed visa application form
• A passport that will not expire before the end of the Canada Work Visa’s duration. You may also submit old passports as additional identity verification.
• 4 recent passport-sized photographs that were taken within the past 6 months
• Letter from your Canadian employer detailing your job title, responsibilities, and employment duration
• Reference letters or employment verification from both past and current employers
• All educational diplomas and transcripts
• Police clearance certificate (only for applicants aged 18 or older)
• Medical certificate

You must gather these documents and submit your application packet to a Canada visa application center in Thailand. These centers are operated by VFS Global, a government contractor that handles Canadian visa applications of all kinds. Keep in mind that these visa centers do not grant approval, they only process your application and send it to the Canadian government for review.

The Canadian Embassy in Thailand will inform you of your application status. If your visa application gets approved, your passport will receive a visa stamp that will allow you to enter Canada. All the documents you submitted for the application will be returned to you.

Adding Family to Your Canada Working Visa from Thailand

Your spouse and children are eligible to join you in Canada as dependents. For this, you must provide a copy of your marriage certificate and your children’s birth certificates, along with 4 recent photographs of each dependent.

Be prepared to cover the visa fees, which are not refundable if your application is not successful. Additionally, you may be required to participate in an interview with a visa officer.
