No, it is not possible to apply for a work permit or sponsorship while on a visitor's visa in Canada, as the visitor visa is intended for temporary stays only. If a person entered Canada with the intention of living there permanently with their Canadian spouse, they would need to apply for permanent residency through one of the immigration programs available.Originally posted by BsYadav49 View Post
However, if the visitor has a valid job offer from a Canadian employer, they may be eligible to apply for a work permit from within Canada, provided they meet the eligibility requirements. Alternatively, they may be able to apply for a work permit from outside Canada if their employer is willing to sponsor them.
In any case, it is important to consult with an immigration lawyer or a licensed immigration consultant to determine the best course of action based on individual circumstances.
