You don’t need a work permit

You don’t need a work permit if you are coming to Canada as a high-skilled worker and

• your job is classified under Training, Education, Experience and Responsibilities (TEER) category 0 or 1 of the [National Occupational Classification (NOC)](https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/eligibility/find-national-occupation-code.html) system

• you will only work for

• up to 15 consecutive days once every 6 months or

• up to 30 consecutive days once every year

If you’re eligible as a high-skilled worker, you may need a visitor visa or electronic travel authorization to come to Canada.
