Temp Work Permit while on H1-B

[oracle]

Hi All,

I am working in USA on H1-B and have a job offer from a Canadian employer. I am planning to apply for Canadian Temp work permit in person.

However, I only have a copy of my current H-1B transfer approval notice (I-797) - the original is with my US employer. Do I need to have the original I-797 for applying to the Canadian work permit or the attested copy of it would be sufficient?

I would really appreciate any pointers!

Thanks
