Poland

Non-EU citizens will need a work permit to enter and work in Poland. The work permit issued is valid for only one job and can be used to perform only those tasks mentioned in the concerned application form. In case of changing jobs, one will have to apply for a new work permit. The validity of a work permit is for three years. Poland offers Type A, B, C, D, E work permits. Type A is the most popular visa where employment is based on an employment contract or civil law contract with an employer with an office registered in Poland. Type B work permit is valid if one is a board member and residing in Poland for a total period that exceeds 6 months within a period of 12 subsequent months. Type C work permit is for workers sent to Poland by a foreign employer for more than 30 days in a calendar year to work for the foreign employer’s subsidiary or branch office in the country. Type D workers are sent by a foreign employer to work in export services on a temporary basis. Type E permit is for people who are going to take up work-related tasks that do not fall into any of the above four categories.

The TFWP is intended to help Canadian employers recruit foreign workers in response to labor market shortages. TFWP is made up of four streams: high-skilled workers, low-skilled workers, the Seasonal Agricultural Worker Program, and the Live-In Caregiver Program. Foreign workers must have an approved job offer and a work permit before arriving in Canada under the TFWP.
