Canada offers a variety of work permits to foreign nationals, which allows you to legally work within the country. Work permits are essential for gaining valuable work experience in Canada, contributing to the economy, and potentially paving the way for permanent residency. There are different types of work permit applications, and we can help you choose the right one based on your eligibility.
Closed work permits are tied to a specific employer, job, and location. Often requiring an LMIA, they ensure hiring a foreign worker won't negatively impact Canadian job opportunities.
Certain work permits are LMIA-exempt, under international agreements (like NAFTA), intra-company transfers, or for individuals whose employment brings significant cultural or economic benefits to Canada.
These permits are not job-specific, allowing individuals to work for any employer in Canada. Common recipients include spouses of skilled workers or international students and participants in working holiday programs.
