Canada depends on temporary foreign workers to cover crucial labor shortages and increase the workforce’s necessary skills.
Over 500,000 persons with work permits are employed in Canada each year. In the industries of agriculture, healthcare, and information technology, there are numerous opportunities for everyone (IT).
Work permits are often employer-specific and obligate you to work for the employer that is stated on them. If required, your company must first get a favorable LMIA before taking any action.
Open work permits are also offered in some circumstances, such as the following: for a recent PGWP-eligible program graduate who also has a DLI. for a Canadian PR applicant (or a member of their dependent family). for a foreign student’s spouse or common-law partner.
For a protected person, refugee, applicant for refugee status, skilled worker, or a member of their family.
The business normally needs a Labor Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) to support a foreign national’s employment offer for postsecondary co-op work permits; however, an LMIA is not necessary for all jobs.
You’ve been working full-time for the employer on your work permit for at least one year and have a legitimate job offer and a work permit that’s exempt from the LMIA (or an equivalent amount of part-time work).
