B1 Multiple Visa for Canada

[rajnik1976]

Dear Friends,

My husband has got B1 multiple visa for Canada and its valid for 3 years. He is an Indian Citizen.

He is in Canada right now for a business trip and coming back next week.

My question is, what this B1 visa allow him to do in Canada apart from business/tourist visit?

I have read on Canadian High Commission in New Delhi website that "B-1 Business visitor exempt from the requirement to obtain a Work Permit" What does it mean?Can he work legally in Canada while he holds this B1 visa?

Here is the link: http://www.canadainternational.gc.ca/india-inde/visas/DescriptionCanadianTempVisas_CategoriesVisasTemporaireCanadiens.aspx

Would appreciate your replies.

Thanks & best regards,
RAJNI

No he can't work. Read the following which states: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/business-who.asp

"Business visitors usually stay in Canada for a few days or a few weeks. To be considered a business visitor you must show that:

* you intend to stay for less than six months and do not plan to enter the Canadian labour market
* your main place of business and source of income is located outside Canada
* profits from your business will accrue outside Canada
* you can provide documents that support your application and
* you meet Canada’s basic entry requirements. You:
o have a valid travel document, such as a passport
o have enough money for your stay and to return home
o plan to leave Canada at the end of your visit and
o do not pose criminal, security or health risks to Canadians.
