Can I get Canada work permit and job on visitor visa?

No. You cannot legally get a work permit and job in Canada by entering on a visitor visa. A visitor visa only allows you to stay temporarily for tourism, family visits, or business meetings. It does not give you authorization to work.

If you want to work in Canada, you must apply for a valid work permit. This usually requires a job offer from a Canadian employer and often a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA). In some cases, you may apply through specific work permit programs such as the International Mobility Program or Post-Graduation Work Permit if you studied in Canada.

Visitors in Canada can sometimes apply for a work permit from inside the country under special policies, but this is not guaranteed and requires meeting strict eligibility criteria.

In summary: A visitor visa does not grant work rights. You must secure a work permit through the proper application process.
