As of August 28, Canada has ceased allowing visitors on temporary visas to apply for work permits while within the country.

Before granting entry, Canada makes sure that all foreign nationals fulfill the necessary standards for admission.

Thus, any foreign national whom these two groups deem likely to commit a crime while visiting Canada may be refused entry. How a family member could prevent you from entering Canada?

If you want to visit Canada temporarily, you may need a TRV unless you are a citizen of a “visa-exempt” nation.
