Eligibility requirements for all applicants. That mean there are specific requirements you need to meet depending on where you are when you apply for your work permit.
But regardless of where you apply or which type of work permit you apply for, you must:
prove to an officer that you will leave Canada when your work permit expires
show that you have enough money to take care of yourself and your family members during your stay in Canada and to return home
obey the law and have no record of criminal activity (we may ask you to give us a police clearance certificate),
not be a danger to Canada’s security
be in good health and have a medical exam, if needed
not plan to work for an employer listed with the status “ineligible” on the list of employers who failed to comply with the conditions
not plan to work for an employer who, on a regular basis, offers striptease, erotic dance, escort services or erotic massages, and give the officer any other documents they ask for to prove you can enter the country
