Can I work in Canada?

[lukefromireland]

Hi all,

Last week I got my EAD approved by having it expedited, still waiting for my travel document, interview etc. See timeline below.

I got offered a job by a tour company based in California that have tours all over the US and Canada. It would mean that sometimes I would have to lead tours up in Canada for a couple of weeks at a time, which requires a visa.

Am I allowed to apply for a visa to work in Canada during this who process?

Many thanks!

Yes if your US employer occasonally sends you to canada in the course of your work it should not be an issue as long as you have your AP. The bigger issue you will face is the logistics of how to enter Canada often and that almost all people returning to US using AP are ALWAYS sent to secondary inspection at POE which can last several hours.

Thank you. So I would have to apply for a work visa for Canada right?
