How to Apply for a Work Permit
You can apply from outside Canada in one of two ways: I online or (ii) on paper:
To apply online, you'll need a scanner or camera, as well as a credit or debit card. Here is where you may start your application. You'll need to establish a GCKey account first (make sure you memorise your 4 questions and answers you choose, as each time you connect to your account, you will be asked one of these questions after entering your login and password). Filling out the forms, signing them, scanning them, and uploading them are all required. You'll also have to upload all of the necessary supporting documents.
To apply by paper, you'll need to fill out and sign the forms. Then locate the Visa Application Center for your country (Vfs.Global) and bring all required supporting documentation.
To be honest, applying on paper is far more convenient and secure than applying online for the following reasons:
Visa Application Centers can provide answers in a variety of languages and ensure that applications are complete.
For a charge, Visa Application Centers can supply application photos and photocopies, ensuring that your photos are approved.
Visa Application Centers accept cash payments.
If you need a Temporary Resident Visa and apply online, you must still bring your passport to the Visa Application Center (for them to transmit it to the Canadian Consulate) and pay a charge that is nearly the same as if you applied directly with them. You'll just save a few dollars (less than $5), so it's not worth it.
