Going to Norway

Norway offers a wide variety of work and residence permits to foreign nationals who have an interest in exploring life in the country. Visa-exempt nationals, including Canadian citizens, can visit Norway for up to 90 days without a visa. If you plan to work, study, volunteer or stay for more than 90 days in Norway a residence or work permit is usually required. Please read more in the submenus on the left.

The Royal Danish Embassy in Canada represents Norway in regards to permits, which means that your application should be sent directly to the Danish Embassy in Ottawa. You cannot apply online as indicated on the Norwegian Directorate of Immigration’s website.
