Hi all,

My husband's organization processed Canada W1 worker visa for him and myself as his dependent . So, we both have same category of visa.
Can I work on this visa, or I would need a separate WP as I am dependent?

A visa doesn't entitle you to work (regardless of the category), for this you need a Work Permit. Each person needs its own Work Permit.

No - you can't. You can only work for the employer who has given you the job offer.

Hi all,

I can't seem to find an answer to my question anywhere: with a W-1 visa/ work permit - can I work for any employer or just the employer who made a job offer?

good morning guys. Please is w1 work permit visa the same as TRV ?
No. TRV is for basic travel or tourism purposes. W1 is for temporary workers. Both only exist as a travel pathway for visa-applicable nationalities and would need to be accompanied by a work or residence permit.

In the US, Australia, the UK and elsewhere a visa is what allows you to both arrive and work in the country. Canada doesn't work that way.
