Scope of the helper role
Maintenance Helpers support skilled personnel; they do not independently perform regulated or licensed trade work unless legally authorized and assigned to do so.
Posting from Poland to Canada
The hiring employer is MaViAl Sp. z o.o., a Polish company. A temporary assignment from Poland to Canada must satisfy both the employment/social-security rules that apply to the posting and Canada’s immigration/work-authorization rules.
Social security
Poland and Canada have a bilateral social-security agreement. For an employee temporarily sent from Poland by the Polish employer, Polish social-security legislation may remain applicable for a posting period of up to 60 months under the agreement. The applicable Polish coverage is confirmed with the PL-CAN01 certificate.
Canadian work authorization
PL-CAN01 is a social-security certificate; it is not a Canadian work permit. Canadian immigration rules apply separately. IRCC states that a person sent by a foreign company to perform work in Canada for a Canadian contract is not treated as an ordinary business visitor and may need a work permit. Most foreign nationals need valid authorization before starting work in Canada.
The exact immigration route depends on the worker’s nationality/status and the Canadian assignment. No candidate should travel for work on the assumption that visitor status alone authorizes employment.
Work conditions
- On-site work in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
- Full-time schedule: 40 hours per week.

- Work may involve noise, moving equipment, industrial housekeeping and physically demanding tasks.
- PPE and site-specific safety procedures must be followed.
- Powered equipment may be used only when the worker is trained and authorized.
