Lindsay Lohan Approved to Work in Canada

Bacon ... hockey ... maple syrup ... Lindsay Lohan -- all things that've received the official Canadian stamp of approval ... TMZ has learned. Lindsay has just been granted a Canadian work permit to film an upcoming Liz Taylor movie in Toronto ... which is a big deal because the Canucks usually aren't too fond of granting permits to foreigners with criminal records.

Sources tell us ... Canadian officials have realized Lindsay has been receiving positive marks from the court and her probation officer ... and signed off on the permit hours after she completed her community service requirements yesterday.

Lohan will prepare for her role in an upcoming episode of Glee before jetting off to Vancouver in May to start filming the Lifetime TV movie Liz and Dick, in which she will play Elizabeth Taylor.
