Work permit on supervisa

[jeet patel]

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone have applied for work permit for their parents who are staying in Canada under supervisa. On CIC, one of the eligibility requirement if you apply inside Canada is that if you have temporary resident permit to stay 6 months or more.

please let me know if this is something I can do.

Thanks

No - they cannot. And no - it doesn't say that. You are misunderstanding the rules.

The rule you are referring to is for TRPs (temporary resident permits) - NOT TRVs (temporary resident visas).

TRVs are normal visitor visas which is what your parents have and what a super visa is. TRPs are a special class of visa which is difficult to obtain and is reserved for individuals who are inadmissible to Canada, typically due to a crime.

If they want to work in Canada, then need a job offer and approved LMIA from an employer in Canada so that they can apply for a closed work permit.
