Frequently asked questions:

Right-to-work and other checks

Does a driver's license work as a form of ID instead of passport in Canada?

For Canadian citizens, a copy of a Canadian Passport OR Drivers License OR Photo Card are acceptable options. For any non-canadian citizens please provide a valid passport from your country of origin and your OPEN Working Visa.

Is a "study permit" acceptable as a work permit in Canada?

Yes, this document is acceptable as a work permit. In some cases Study Permits in Canada allow students to work ON or OFF campus (depending on what the permit expressly states and under certain restrictions). After students complete their study program, there are 2 ways they may be able to work full-time: They already applied for a work permit before their study permit expired or They are starting a new study program

What's the difference between an OPEN and CLOSED Work Visa in Canada?

In Canada, the distinction between an OPEN work visa and a CLOSED work visa relates to the flexibility and specificity of employment.

  1. OPEN Work Visa: Allows the holder to work for any employer in Canada, without being restricted to a specific job or location. Common examples include the Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) or the Working Holiday Visa under the International Experience Canada (IEC) program.

  2. CLOSED Work Visa: Tied to a specific employer, position, and location. Before applying, the applicant typically requires a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) or an LMIA-exempt job offer. The worker must remain with the employer specified in the visa and cannot freely change jobs without obtaining a new visa or appropriate permissions.

Currently Omnipresent can only hire employees with OPEN Work Visas. If your visa is tied to your previous employment, reach out to us right away.
