Can You Job Hunt in Canada on a Visitor Visa Without PR?

No, someone cannot legally work in Canada without a PR visa or a valid work permit, even if they initially entered on a visitor's visa and are only looking for jobs. A visitor's visa does not grant permission to work in Canada. To work legally, a person must obtain a work permit that allows them to work for a specific employer or under certain conditions.

If someone on a visitor's visa finds a job, they must apply for a work permit and wait for approval before starting employment. It is essential to follow Canadian immigration laws to avoid legal issues and potential penalties.
