Work Permit and Immigration Visa?

[Hariz]

Can you please tell me how is a Work Permit different from a Canada Immigration Visa?

 

[Riley Haas]

A work permit is permission to come to Canada temporarily to work in an approved job (and occasionally just permission to work anywhere in Canada, but those are specific work permits called "open" work permits, only available to some).
What do you mean by an immigration visa? a Temporary Resident Visa? Immigrating as a permanent resident?
