Work Permits
As one of the world’s leading economies, Canada is a great destination for individuals seeking to work abroad. The Canadian Work Permit Visa allows business people, permanent workers, temporary workers, students, and others to work in Canada. Typically, applicants need to have a job offer in hand in order to apply for a work permit visa. With our end-to-end overseas career solutions, SGL Immigration can help you apply for a Canadian Work Permit Visa..
Worker Visa
Foreign nationals wishing to work in Canada on a temporary basis usually require a work permit.
Two of the main programs through which work permits are issued are the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) and the International Mobility Program (IMP). The TFWP offers work permits for candidates whose employers obtain a positive Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA).
A positive LMIA confirms there is a need for a foreign worker to fill the job at hand and that no Canadian worker is available to do the job.
Open Work Permit
An open work permit allows a foreign national to work for any Canadian employer he/she wants over a specified period of time. Some open work permits may restrict the kind of job or place in which the foreign national may work.
Extension
The temporary worker must apply for an extension or renewal of their work permit if they wants to extend their employment beyond the work permit expiry date.
