WHAT IS A CANADIAN WORK PERMIT?

A Canadian work permit is the permission to take a job within Canada if you are from a foreign country. You usually need a work permit to work in Canada. In some cases, you can work without a permit. Close to 200,000 New Foreign Workers Immigrate to Canada Every Year!

Working in Canada is an attractive option for many skilled foreign workers from all over the world. Each year, close to 200,000 foreign skilled workers come to work in Canada on Temporary Canadian Work Permits. There is no reason why this cannot be you too!

THERE ARE FOUR BASIC STEPS TO GETTING A TEMPORARY CANADIAN WORK VISA:

  • Employer applies for labour market opinion (if necessary)
  • Employer extends temporary job offer to foreign workers
  • Foreign skilled worker applies for work permit.
  • Work permit is issued

In order to work in Canada on a temporary basis, foreign skilled workers must have a temporary offer of employment from a Canadian employer and be granted a Temporary Foreign Worker Permit by Human Resources and Skills Development Canada. If you or a family member are applying for a PR card, you can also apply via an ‘Open Work’ permit, and if you are American or Mexican, you can fast track the working visa process via the NAFTA agreement.
