There are actually two kinds of work visas in Canada: open work visas and closed work visas. The difference between the two is that an open work visa does not stipulate employers, and an applicant with an open work visa can work for any employer in Canada, while a closed work visa is the opposite of an open work visa, that is, an applicant with a closed work visa can only work for a fixed employer. Once the working relationship is dissolved, the work visa will be invalid. Open work visas can only be applied by overseas students who graduated from Canada, spouses with closed work visas or some special short-term international cooperation projects in Canada. Most overseas people need a labor contract issued by their employers to apply for a closed work visa if they want to obtain a Canadian work visa.
Legal basis:
Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) on Exit and Entry Administration Article 9 China citizens shall apply for passports or other travel documents when leaving or entering the country. China citizens who want to go to other countries or regions also need to obtain visas or other entry permits. However, unless the China government has signed visa exemption agreements with other governments or the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs provide otherwise. China citizens who leave or enter the country as seafarers and work on foreign ships shall apply for a seaman's certificate according to law.
