Program Delivery Update: Transportation Occupations

Clarified rules for work permits under the International Mobility Program

Foreign nationals seeking temporary work in Canada in transportation-related occupations—such as marine workers, captains, flight crew, train conductors, engineers, food services workers, entertainers on trips, and transport drivers—may work with or without a work permit, depending on their situation.

The program delivery instructions regarding marine workers under paragraph 186(s) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (IRPR) have been extensively updated. These changes provide officers with clearer guidance and examples of when individuals qualify to work without a permit under R186(s), as well as updated definitions of “crew members.”
