1. To apply for a Canadian temporary work permit, check if you need a permit or can work without one, then determine if you meet eligibility requirements like education, age, experience, criminal history, funds, and medical clearance. 2. Applications can be made online if you have scanning equipment, otherwise collect paper forms. Potential employers must provide a positive Labor Market Impact Assessment and a temporary job offer letter. 3. Gather all required forms and documents, pay fees of $155 per applicant, and submit the application online or to a visa center. Hiring a consultant can help with the process.
