根据IRPR（移民和难民保护条例）186 ( p )，移民局授权临时居民在没有工作许可时参与工作的情况：
- 他们是外国学习机构在卫生健康领域的学生；
- 这项工作主要是为了在有限的时间内获得培训，并且；
- 他们已经获得加拿大监管该领域机构的书面批准。
这包括直接与患者打交道的工作，例如在其学习计划中作为医学选修课的一部分或在医疗保健环境中担任支持角色的工作（例如在加拿大的医学教学机构担任临床服务员）。
Eligibility
A “student in a health field” is a foreign national who has not yet completed their Doctor of Medicine (MD) . Therefore, foreign nationals who have finished their Doctor of Medicine and are completing their residency do not meet the requirements of paragraph R186( p ).
For the purpose of the work permit exemption under paragraph R186( p ), the medical elective or clinical clerkship at a medical teaching institution in Canada (host employer) is short term, usually 1 term that a student from a foreign learning institution is completing in Canada as part of their Doctor of Medicine program, after which they will return to their foreign learning institution to complete their MD.
Medical teaching institutions are identified in the IRPR as employers for medical students under paragraph R186(p). However, workplaces such as private clinics are also permitted if they are providing human health care training.
Health care fields include the following:
- medicine (including dentistry)
- occupational and physical therapy
- medical technology
- nursing
- other professions in human health care that are regulated by provincial or territorial governments
There is no requirement for wages to be paid. However, where the position is unpaid or of minimal recompense, foreign students must demonstrate that they have the means to support themselves while in Canada.
The primary purpose of the work must be to acquire training in a field related to the foreign national’s studies, not to conduct research. Non-research training in a health research facility (such as a laboratory) is permitted.
