Certain international business activities in Canada do not require a work permit. Eligible foreign workers can enter Canada for short periods as business visitors.

Business Visitors and Work Permit Exemptions
What is a business visitor?
Business visitors must not be entering the Canadian labour market (they must be paid and employed outside Canada, and the business must accrue profits outside Canada) and the work must be international in scope.
