We understand that selecting the right type of work permit can be overwhelming. Whether you are a foreign worker, a recent graduate, or an employer looking to hire talent from abroad, our team is here to guide you through each step of the process.

Employer-Specific Work Permits

An employer-specific work permit allows a foreign national to work in Canada for a particular employer, within a specific role and location. This is the most common type of work permit issued and typically requires a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) from the Canadian employer.

Key Requirements for Employer-Specific Permits:
  • Job Offer: You need a written job offer from a Canadian employer, typically for full-time employment.
  • LMIA Approval: The employer must secure an LMIA from Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) to prove there are no Canadian citizens or permanent residents available for the role.
  • Qualifications: Applicants must meet the qualifications (experience, education, and skills) specified in the job offer.

Special Programs:

  • Global Talent Stream: Certain high-demand, tech-based roles may qualify for faster processing under the Global Talent Stream, with work permits processed in as little as two weeks.

Open Work Permits

Open work permits are not tied to any specific employer, providing greater flexibility. These permits allow you to work for almost any employer in Canada, making them ideal for spouses, graduates, and certain individuals applying for permanent residency.

Eligibility Criteria for Open Work Permits:
  • Spouse or Common-Law Partner: Spouses or common-law partners of skilled workers or international students in Canada may be eligible for an open work permit.
  • International Graduates (PGWP): Students who graduate from a Designated Learning Institution (DLI) in Canada may apply for a Post-Graduation Work Permit.
  • Permanent Residency Applicants: Dependents of individuals applying for permanent residency may also qualify for an open work permit.
  • At-Risk Workers: Workers facing abuse or unsafe conditions in the workplace may be eligible for an open work permit to protect their rights and safety.

Benefits of Open Work Permits:

  • Work Flexibility: You can change employers or positions without reapplying for a new permit.
  • No Job Offer Required: Unlike employer-specific permits, you do not need to secure a job offer in advance.
