Orchestras Canada/Orchestres Canada has been made aware of challenges that certain orchestras are facing in getting or renewing work permits for non-Canadian contracted musicians and music directors.

To help us better understand the nature and extent of the issue – and discern the most useful role we might play in it – we would sincerely appreciate hearing from you about any work permit-related challenges that you may be encountering – now or in the future. Just let Katherine Carleton, OC’s executive director, know. You can reach her by email at katherine [at] oc [dot] ca or by phone at 416-366-8834 x226.
