Temporary work visas are permits that allow foreign nationals to work in a country for a limited period. These visas are often issued for specific jobs or industries, and they typically require sponsorship from an employer. The duration of stay can vary based on the visa type and the terms of employment. Countries like the United States and Canada have various temporary work visa categories, such as the H-1B visa in the U.S. and the Temporary Foreign Worker Program in Canada. Applicants must meet certain qualifications and adhere to regulations to maintain their visa status while working abroad.
