Is an employee required to obtain an employment authorization to engage and continue in employment in Canada?
Canada (Federal), Canada
The following excerpt is from Mia v. M.N.R., 2001 CanLII 785 (TCC):
In the instant case, the appellant knew or ought to have known that he needed a valid and subsisting employment authorization to engage and continue in employment in Canada. As in Polat v. M.N.R. (December 4, 1997, A-31-97 (F.C.A.) and March 17, 1998, 96-402(UI) (T.C.C.)), the appellant had already obtained an employment authorization in the past. The fact that he obtained an initial employment authorization is significant because it indicates that he knew that when it expired he would have to obtain a new one before engaging or continuing in employment. Moreover, he admitted that he neglected to obtain another authorization during the period at issue.
