Canada is one of the sought-after countries to apply for work permit due to various reasons, which include, Canadian work culture and its ever-welcoming attitude towards foreign nationals who wish to work in Canada. Most foreign nationals need a work permit to officially work in Canada and some of them may also require a valid job offer or LMIA (Labor Market Impact Assessment). Depending on your circumstances you may be eligible to apply for work permit at port of entry or while you are in Canada.

One of the major benefits of applying for a work permit is that it enhances your chances to get permanent residency at a later stage, if you see yourself settling down in Canada in the long run. As you will have Canadian work experience, you might be eligible to apply for permanent residency or extend your work permit depending on your circumstances.
