This is a visa group, and not a work permit group, but I'm in a good mood and I'll let it through:
>. Can individuals get a work permit
Only individuals can get work permits. Individuals must be employed through a business (generally)
>What’s the process?
Contact your local labor office for the process of getting a work permit, OR contact your human resource office.

yep! I was pretty sure work permits needed to be sponsored by a company. I think many get around it by setting up their own companies but if I don’t have a job why would I go through the hassle? Something smells a bit fishy. James ********
