Work Permit Help in Scarborough – The Law Office of Ronen Kurzfeld

Scarborough is one of the most vibrant, diverse areas in the Greater Toronto Area, offering strong job opportunities in logistics, healthcare, education, skilled trades, and manufacturing. It’s no surprise that it continues to attract foreign workers seeking better futures in Canada.

To work legally in Canada, most foreign nationals need a valid work permit. At The Law Office of Ronen Kurzfeld, we specialize in helping individuals and employers in Scarborough understand the work permit process and apply with confidence.

Work Permit Types – Which One Is Right for You?

We offer personalized legal support to help you or your business determine the most suitable work permit. Below are the most common types we work with:

Employer-Specific Work Permit

This type of permit is tied to a particular job, employer, and location. It’s typically used when a Canadian employer has offered you a job.

You’ll likely need:
  • A valid job offer from a Canadian company
  • A Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA), unless your position qualifies for an exemption
  • Proof of your experience, skills, and education

We assist local Scarborough employers in industries like food processing, elder care, and transportation with obtaining LMIA approvals and managing compliance.

Fast-track option:
 Jobs in high-demand sectors may qualify for Global Talent Stream, with processing in as little as 2 weeks.

Open Work Permit

An open work permit gives you the flexibility to work for almost any employer in Canada. It’s a great choice for people in certain immigration categories who don’t have a job offer yet.

You may qualify if you are:
  • The spouse or partner of a skilled worker or international student
  • A graduate from a Canadian college or university (PGWP eligible)
  • Applying for permanent residency from within Canada
  • Facing abuse or mistreatment at your current job

Why it’s flexible:

  • No job offer required
  • Freedom to switch employers without reapplying

Ideal for those transitioning to permanent residency

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can I apply for a work permit from inside Canada?

Yes. Depending on your current status (student, visitor, or temporary resident), you may be eligible to apply from within Canada.

Do I need a job offer to get a work permit?

Only for employer-specific permits. Open permits do not require a job offer.

How can an employer in Scarborough hire a foreign worker?

They often need to apply for an LMIA. We help local businesses meet all the requirements and file successful applications.

Can I work after graduating from a college in Scarborough?

Yes. Graduates from institutions like Centennial College and University of Toronto – Scarborough Campus can apply for a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP).

Can I switch jobs on a work permit?

Only if you have an open work permit. If you’re on an employer-specific permit, you’ll need to apply for a new one before changing jobs.

What’s the processing time for a work permit?

It depends on the type of permit and where you’re applying from. Some programs, like the Global Talent Stream, offer two-week processing.

What if my permit is about to expire?

Apply for a renewal at least 30 days before it expires. If it has already expired, you may be eligible for restoration. Contact us immediately for assistance.
