If you’re an employee of an owner or operator of an international bridge or tunnel, you need a work permit to work in Canada.

For example, you may be a U.S. employee of the Peace Bridge Authority who’s working in a toll booth on the Canadian side of the border.

Type of work permit

You can apply for an employer-specific work permit.

Your employer doesn’t need to get a labour market impact assessment or to submit an offer of employment to hire you. You must provide a copy of your job contract or employment letter when you apply.

When you fill out your work permit application form, select “Other” as the type of work permit you’re applying for. For more details, see the instruction guide that applies to you:
