(in reply to: Visitor Visa and volunteering) Most probably you cannot volunteer while on visitor visa. Check www.cic.gc.ca to confirm.

(in reply to: Visitor Visa and volunteering) That is NOT true. If you volunteer for some place like a nonprofit where the work you´re doing is always done by volunteers, you CAN volunteer. If you try to volunteer for a business doing work you would normally get paid for, that is a problem. I´ve been doing it through my process, and CIC hasn´t said a word.

(in reply to: Visitor Visa and volunteering) Gentlespirit is right. You do not need a work permit for unpaid volunteer work. I did not count the unpaid work in my first reply. See this link for details.
