A temporary public policy for visitors was announced on August 24, 2020. As a result, this allowed visitor visa holders already in Canada to apply for work permit
Initially, this policy was only for the visitors who came before August 24 2020 and have a job offer in addition to other requirements.
But, then this policy was amended to allow all visitor visa holders without considering their date of entry to Canada.
In March 2022, this policy is being extended until February 28, 2023.
Here Is What Policy Say For Visitors:
This public policy will
permit eligible foreign nationals with valid temporary resident status as visitors to apply for a job offer-supported work permit from inside Canada
exempt eligible foreign nationals from the requirement that a work permit not be issued if they have not complied with certain temporary residence conditions
allow eligible former temporary foreign workers to work while a decision on their work permit application is pending
