*Is there a way to work in Canada without a work permit?*?
Hey guys, my family just moved to Canada last year and we still do not have citizenship for Canada. I am a 17 year old male and my parents have a work permit, but I only have a student permit, no work permit. I really want to work however, and to make some money for myself. Is there any way I can work without a work permit? What entitles a person to be able to work in Canada? Thanks a lot!

this might be your answer,sponge divers in canada have been known to make decent money while living under the radar

NO you cannot work while you are a student - you will not be eligible for a work permit as you must have post secondary education and professional experience to be eligible for any work permit. These are what your parents had in order for them to get their work permit. Your parents have a work permit and thus your entire family are NOT eligible to get Canadian citizenship since you are NOT permanent residents. If you want to work under the table for cash jobs, you can do things like babysitting, shovelling snow, walking the neighbours dogs, washing cars etc. Demand cash only - NO cheques - and do NOT open any bank account. Canadians have to pay tax on the interest on savings and you cant do that since you are not eligible to have a SIN. You cannot work for for ANY employer at all. You are not entitled to get a SIN card (where SIN = SSN) . You are NOT eligible to work for any employer - such as McDonalds, Wendys, Harvey's, Tim Hortons, KFC, Taco Bell or any fast food place. You cant work as a sales assistant or a cashier or a grocery bagger or a stock person (restocking shelves), or anything like that.

How do Elections in Canada work
How do Elections in Canada work?
I have been told that the winner of an election in Canada (for Prime Minister) is based on how many seats a party has in the House of Commons after the election. I always thought that the winner was determined by the popular vote for the individual person. Am I correct? Thanks ~

they don't... if they did, no one would care... its canada
2 :
We vote for who we want to represent our area, each representative is a part of a larger party. The leader of the party with the most seats becomes prime minister (as long as he gets elected in his/her riding). If the party leader does not get elected in his riding, the party elects a new leader based on who in the party was elected.
3 :
No, Canada has a parliamentary system. Each of the parties in Canada, which are: Conservative, Liberal, New Democrat Party, and Green Party. They each have a chosen leader to be the head of the party. Then each party has representatives to run for election in their respective ridings. These are called MPP's and they are the one's trying to gain seats. There is over 300 seats I believe. Anyway, whatever party has control of the most seats becomes the leading party and the head of that party becomes Primie Minister. The party with the second most number of votes becomes the leading opposition party. Technically, then most Canadians don't actually get to vote for their Prime Minister. Only those whom are living in the riding that the Prime Minister is actually running in.

There is no popular vote for an individual person. Harper was only on the ballot in one riding in Calgary. It's not like here. No, the leader of the party with the most seats is PM.
5 :
Braden is very close to correct, though the elected officals are MPs (Members of Parliament), not MPPs, and he left out the Bloc Quebecois, the separatist party, which only runs candidates in Quebec, but takes most of the seats from that province. One major difference from the US is that all cabinet members must be elected MPs, not just pals of the leader

If you mean a DEBIT card, then yes, but of course there will be the exchange rate and bank fees.
2 :
It should work, but you may be paying in Canadian money as in, the exchange rate. I would also notify your credit card provider and the credit union you have your debit card with that you will be traveling out of the country so they will not see transactions in another country as potential fraud and block your account.

Is a Permanent resident in the USA allowed to work in Canada
Is a Permanent resident in the USA allowed to work in Canada?
my wife lives in the good ol' USA but wants to work in Canada. She is a USA permanent resident. Is she legally allowed to work in Canada as long as she files this in her tax forms? Does she file taxes for Canada and the USA?This is actually her old job and she is still a Canadian citizen

Yes
2 :
If she is a Canadian citizen, she has a permanent right to seek employment in Canada, even if she lives in the USA.
3 :
As a Canadian citizen, she always has a right to live & work in Canada, and to come & go as she pleases. Yes, as a US permanent resident, she is subject to US income taxes, but if she actually lives in Canada for at least 330 days a year (as well as working there), she'd be subject to Foreign Earned Income Exclusion. Also, US-Canada tax treaty means the income taxes she pays in Canada on income earned in Canada is credited toward her US tax bill. Although she has to file, she should probably end up owing zero US taxes. Maintaining her status as Legal Permanent Resident if she lives and works in Canada could get sticky. Or do you two live in a border town and she'd work in Canada and live in US? This goes on quite a bit in Detroit/Windsor, Niagara Falls NY/ON, etc. Not a big deal.
