Work Permit
Type of Work Permits
Most people need a permit to work in Canada. You may be eligible for an open or employer-specific work permit if you require one.
Open Work Permit: Allows you to work for any employer in Canada, except for an employer listed as ineligible or employers that offer striptease, erotic dance, escort services or erotic massages.
Employer-Specific Work Permit: Closed work permits only let you work for a specific employer.
Most jobs in Canada for a foreign worker require a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA), a document that an employer in Canada may need to get before hiring a foreign worker. French speakers do not need an LMIA to be hired in Canada.
A positive LMIA will show a need for a foreign worker to fill the job. It will also show that no Canadian worker or permanent resident can do the job. A positive LMIA is sometimes called a confirmation letter.

Once you get a job offer, we can help you apply for a work permit. We do not do the LMIA process. Buying or selling a job is a crime in Canada.
