In most cases, someone in Canada on a tourist visa cannot start working or simply switch to a work permit without the right conditions. If your friend gets a valid LMIA and a job offer, she may be allowed to apply for an employer-specific work permit from inside Canada, as current policies allow some visitors to do this. However, she still cannot work until the permit is approved.

If she doesn’t meet the eligibility rules or the policy changes, she may need to leave Canada and apply from outside. It’s important to check her exact status, expiry date, and IRCC rules before proceeding, since these policies are time-limited and can change.
