Work Permit

Work Permits

As a foreign national, you will require a work permit before working in Canada, with a few exceptions. There are different options for obtaining a Canadian work permit. Some work permits require a job offer from a Canadian employer, some require that the employer provide a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA), while others require that a person has a connection to Canada (previous education, spousal sponsorship, etc.).

Programs for Skilled Workers, Skilled Trades, Students and Entrepreneurs

Canadian immigration programs prioritize immigrants who have experience in occupations that are in-demand in Canada and prefer immigrants who will likely remain in Canada after obtaining a permanent residence.

Canada views international students, health care, information technology professionals and entrepreneurs as ideal applicants. To retain international graduates and business professionals, there are several Provincial Nominee Programs offered to international graduates and entrepreneurs across Canada.

As with most economic immigration programs, young applicants who possess strong language skills, high levels of education, and skilled work experience are better suited to succeed.
