Who qualifies for a temporary employment authorization?
Generally, a temporary employment authorization may be issued to a person in good standing, where in the opinion of an immigration officer, employment of the person in Canada will not adversely affect employment opportunities for Canadian citizens or permanent residents in Canada or affect the settlement of any labour dispute that is in progress at the place or intended place of employment. Such an opinion is usually formed following a favourable employment validation process conducted by a Human Resources Development Centre in Canada and in the absence of a medical or security inadmissibility.
