Work Permits
In order to work in Canada you must receive a work permit. The work permit can be either employer-specific or open, or occupation-specific (mainly available for caregivers).
Usually, before applying for work permit you must receive a copy of positive Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) from your employer. With this copy, and copy of your job offer and other proofs that you meet the requirements for the job, you can apply for work permit.
Work Permits supported by LMIA are closed permits, meaning you will be allowed to work only for one employer during your stay in Canada.
In order to apply you will need to present:
- Positive LMIA
- Valid job offer letter signed by you and your employer
- Proof that you meet the requirements of the job (reference letters, proof of compensation, education documents, licensing, etc.)
- Proof that you will leave Canada after your work permit expires
- Show that you have enough of funds to support yourself during your stay
- Not be inadmissible on criminal and health grounds
Note:
Some individuals are exempt from Work Permit, such as business visitors, military personnel, performing artists, athletes, etc.
There are also work permits that are LMIA-exempt:
- If you are a spouse or common-law partner of a foreign worker who is in Canada on a work permit support by LMIA
- If you are a student who completed his studies in Canada at DLI, you may apply for a Post Graduate Work Permit that doesn’t require LMIA
- If you applied for your Permanent Residency and awaiting decision on your application, you may apply for your work permit or its extension
- If you received a positive decision on your Provincial Nominee Program, you may use the nomination certificate to extend your stay in Canada as a worker or apply from overseas
- You may be an exempt to LMIA, if you fall under the category of “ significant benefit”
- Your work permit is covered by an international agreement, such as NAFTA, or GATS
- You are applying as an eligible candidate under International Experience Class (IEC)
