Canada's latest tourist visa policy

The latest Canadian tourist visa policy is as follows:

From August 25th, 2020, Immigration Canada announced a temporary policy to fill the labor shortage in Canada during the epidemic, allowing tourist visa holders who are already in Canada to apply for work visas directly through legal channels without leaving Canada. After three extensions, it was originally scheduled for February 28, 2023, and this temporary policy expired.

On February 28th, 2023, the last day of the implementation of the temporary policy, the Canadian Immigration Department issued a special announcement in official website. This temporary policy will be extended for another two years until February 28, 2025. Before this temporary policy change, people who apply to work in Canada usually need to apply for an initial work visa before entering Canada.
