Highly skilled workers
These workers must meet both of these requirements:

  • Their job is under skill type 0 (executive, managerial) or skill level A (professional) in the National Occupational Classification (NOC).
  • They will work only for one of the following short periods of time:
    • up to 15 consecutive days once every 6 months
    • up to 30 consecutive days once every 12 months
Researchers
These workers must meet both of these requirements:

  • They will perform research at a Canadian, publicly funded, degree-granting institution or its affiliated research institution.
  • They will work for 1 period of 120 days in Canada once every 12 months.
Short answer is NO.

Hi Yenice,
I hope are you are doing well and must be getting ready to fly to Canada or already in Canada.

I have a quick question. Please advise if your visa says issued from "Abu Dhabi" or Philippines because I remember you have applied from Philippines.

One more question, did you file your SOWP from Dubai/UAE or that also you select Philippines because I have seen your mentioned the medical for SWOP.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you
Hi! So sorry for the late response. Manila is indicated on the visa although it was stamped in UAE. For OWP, it was applied/lodged also in Manila however, medical was requested hence, done it in UAE.

Hi Yenice, Many thanks for your reply. Much appreciated.

Need your help on application how to put the information about home country and current country of residence.

There are three areas where you have to chose the country, Can you please help on below.

1. What is your current country/territory of Residence (This one comes while filling out the online application)


Then other two questions from IMM1294e form

2. Current Country or Territory of Residence

3. Country of Territory where applying
