Work Permit Inside Canada

Work Permit Inside Canada

You need a Canadian work permit if you are a foreign national and wish to work in Canada. To work temporarily in Canada, the majority of international workers require a work permit.

 

There are mainly two types of work permits:

  • Open Work Permit
  • Employer or Industry-specific Work Permit (Closed-Work Permit)

 

You may work in Canada under the terms of your permit with an employer-specific work permit (closed-work permit):

  • Time duration of Work Permit.
  • Location
  • Name of the specific employer.

 

A closed-work permit is another name for this kind of employment. It is contingent upon the applicant receiving a work offer from a Canadian company, accompanied by a positive Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) that demonstrates that no Canadian citizen is now available to fill the position. This is a requirement for employment in Canada. In order to meet their special demands, Canadian firms temporarily recruit overseas workers. This work permit includes some categories that qualify for employer-specific work permits.

  • International graduates from post-secondary institutions in Canada.
  • A potential resident who has applied for permanent status.
