My family came to Canada from Asia and we are landed immigrants. Do I have to be a Canadian citizen to be able to get a job?

No. You can hold a job if you are a landed immigrant or have an employment authorization. You will need to obtain a social insurance number (SIN).

For information on how to get a SIN, see Human Resources and Social Development Canada.
