On May 27, 2022, the Government of Canada introduced a new update regarding the public policy allowing certain visitors in Canada to apply for an interim authorization to work. As of now, a foreign national on a visitor visa who has received a positive public policy decision on their work permit application may continue working until a decision is made, even if they have departed and returned to Canada. Before being permitted to enter Canada, visitors must satisfy a border services officer at the port of entry that they meet all admissibility criteria.
