Does green card holder need work permit for business related work in canada?

[shankyyy]

I have to make a business trip for 3 weeks to my company's facility in Canada. I know I do not need a visa to enter Canada (since I have green card) but do I need a work permit to work there for the time period? FYI- I am a citizen of India and with US green card.
Thanks.

You will need a work permit to work in Canada. If you are just traveling on business (not being paid by a Canadian entity in Canada), a visa is not required.

If I'm not mistaken you are being sent on assignment and will be paid the same way you always have been. I don't think you need a visa.

I was told that only if I attend meetings, I do not need a visa. But since I may be working in the labs, I was told I would need a work permit. How long does a work permit take? My employer is thinking in a week's time.

You will need a work permit only if you will be paid by a Canadian employer in Canada. It does not look like this is the case for you.

You will get paid by US company not Canadian so no need of work permit and Canada Visa also.
