开放式工作许可 Open Work Permits
任何希望在加拿大合法就业的外国公民都需要得到授权，大多数情况下，此授权反映在就外国公民持有有效工作许可。但是，在某些特殊情况下，外国人可以在没有工作许可的情况下在加拿大境内工作。
Any foreign national wishing to work in Canada must have the proper authorization. For the vast majority of foreign nationals, this authorization comes in the form of a valid work permit. Though, it should be noted that there are certain exemptions to the work permit requirements.
工作许可是一份授权外国人在加拿大境内从事工作，并从加拿大雇主获得报酬的法律文件。开放式工作许可是指不针对工作地点与雇主进行局限的工作许可，意味着持有有效开放式工作许可的外国公民，可以在加拿大境内任何工作地点为任何雇主工作。值得注意的是，某些开放式工作许可针对持有人可能有额外的限制或要求，外国公民必须遵守。开放式工作许可通常通过以下移民项目颁发：
开放式工作许可不需要提供劳动力市场影响评估（LMIA）。
A work permit is a legal document permitting a foreign national to engage in employment while inside of Canada. An open work permit refers to a work permit which is not tied to a single employer or location. This means that a foreign national with a valid open work permit may work for multiple employers in multiple locations throughout Canada. It should be noted that certain open work permits may have additional requirements or restrictions which must be respected by foreign nationals. Open work permits are most commonly issued through the following immigration programs:
- Post-Graduation Work Permits (PGWP)
- International Experience Canada (IEC)
- Inland Spousal or Common-Law Sponsorship (SOWP)
- Bridging Open Work Permits (BOWP)
Open work permits do not require a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA).
开放式工签的福利 Benefits of an Open Work Permit
开放式工作许可/开放式工签因其赋予持有人充分的选择自由而备受追捧。虽然大多数工作许可都有特定的雇主挂钩，但开放式工作许可允许外籍持有人根据自己的意愿，在加拿大境内任何地方为任何雇主工作。通过累积加拿大工作经验，外国公民能够大幅提高他们获批加拿大永久居留权的可能性。随着加拿大工作经验的累积，移民候选人可以随时关注他们是否符合以下移民项目的申请资格：
即使持有有效工作许可，外国公民也不能接受以下类别雇主的雇佣：
- 由于不遵守加拿大移民部条例而被列入不合规名单的雇主；
- 定期提供脱衣舞、色情舞、伴游服务或色性按摩服务的风俗业雇主。
Open work permits are highly sought after for the freedom they give their holders. While most work permits are tied to a specific employer, an open work permit allows a foreign national to work for any employer in Canada and the freedom to move from location to location at their own discretion. By gaining Canadian work experience, many foreign nationals will improve their eligibility for Canadian permanent residency. As Canadian work experience is accrued, foreign nationals can monitor their eligibility for the following pathways to permanent residence:
- Express Entry (EE)
- Federal Skilled Worker (FSW)
- Federal Skilled Trades (FST)
- Canadian Experience Class (CEC)
- Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs)
- Quebec Immigration
Even with an open work permit, foreign nationals are not eligible to accept employment from the following categories of employers:
- Employers listed as ineligible for having been non-compliant with IRCC regulations;
- Employers regularly offering striptease, erotic dance, escort services, or erotic massages.
