Work Permit
🧾 What You Need to Work in Canada
✅ 1. A Job Offer (in most cases)
Most work permits require a valid job offer from a Canadian employer, but some jobs may be exempt from this requirement.
✅ 2. A Work Permit
There are two main types:
Employer-Specific Work Permit: Tied to one employer, location, and job. Often requires an LMIA.
Open Work Permit: Not tied to a specific employer. Available under certain programs (e.g., spouses of international students or skilled workers, PGWP holders).
✅ Here's How to Start:
You must create an account and apply directly through one or more of these official job portals:
Once you secure a valid job offer, we can assist you with the next step: applying for your work permit.
⚠️ Important Notice:
We do not assist with the LMIA process (Labour Market Impact Assessment), which is the employer's responsibility.
Buying or selling job offers is illegal in Canada. This is considered immigration fraud and can result in criminal charges and a permanent ban from entering the country.
✅ Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) (if required)
An LMIA is a document that proves a Canadian employer tried but couldn’t find a Canadian to fill the job.
Not all jobs need an LMIA. Some are LMIA-exempt under international agreements, public policy, or reciprocal programs.
