Work Permit: There are 2 types of work permits you can apply, Open Work Permit and Employer specific work permit. Regardless of which type of work permit you apply for or where you apply, you must have to satisfy few conditions as below:

An open work permit: You can work for any employer in Canada, except for an employer with the status ‘ineligible’ on the list of employers and who, on a regular basis, offers striptease, erotic dance, escort services or erotic massages.
