CIC News
Foreign nationals can no longer be issued reciprocal employment work permits if their employment is set to begin only upon their arrival in Canada.
In the updated instructions, both references to neutral labour market impact have been deleted.
The updated instructions clarify that “the reciprocity does not have to be directly between two countries.
C20 work permits typically apply to employers that operate across multiple jurisdictions, such as academic institutions, multinational corporations, governmental organizations, and international non-profits.
The C20 exemption code does not apply to work permits issued through the exchange program International Experience Canada (IEC), as IEC work permits are issued under R204(d).
