Canada Restricts eTA Holders from Working or Studying
The Government of Canada has officially stated that foreign nationals entering the country with an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) are prohibited from working or studying during their stay. It is specified that individuals wishing to pursue studies in Canada must obtain a study permit, while those intending to work must secure a valid work permit.
The government clarified that an eTA allows entry for eligible purposes such as tourism or short visits but does not extend to employment or education, which require separate authorizations from Canadian immigration authorities. When a study or work permit is approved, an eTA is automatically issued to the applicant, negating the need for a separate application for the eTA.
This distinction is crucial for foreign nationals planning to travel to Canada.
