You need a Canadian work permit if you are a foreign national and wish to work in Canada. To work temporarily in Canada, the majority of international workers require a work permit.
There are mainly two types of work permits:
Open Work Permit
Employer or Industry-specific Work Permit (Closed-Work Permit)
You may work in Canada under the terms of your permit with an employer-specific work permit (closed-work permit):
Time duration of Work Permit.
Location
Name of the specific employer.
A closed-work permit is another name for this kind of employment. It is contingent upon the applicant receiving a work offer from a Canadian company, accompanied by a positive Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) that demonstrates that no Canadian citizen is now available to fill the position. This is a requirement for employment in Canada. In order to meet their special demands, Canadian firms temporarily recruit overseas workers. This work permit includes some categories that qualify for employer-specific work permits.

With an Open Work Permit, candidates can work in Canada for any authorized employer; there are no job restrictions. A job offer or a favorable Labor Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) from the applicant were not necessary for an Open Work Permit.

Spouses or common-law partners of international students enrolled full-time in academic programmes
A temporary foreign worker’s spouse or common-law partner who works in a level O, A, or B occupation. The National Occupation Classification claims that (NOC)
International graduates from post-secondary institutions in Canada.
A potential resident who has applied for permanent status.
