HOW TO OBTAIN A WORK PERMIT

If you’re aiming to work in Canada, obtaining a work permit is a crucial step in your immigration journey.

There are two primary types of work permits in Canada:

• Employer-Specific Work Permit: This permit allows you to work for a specific employer in Canada and is typically linked to a job offer.
• Open Work Permit: This permit enables you to work for any employer in Canada (with some exceptions) and is available under specific circumstances, such as for spouses of skilled workers or international students.

To qualify for a work permit, you generally need to meet one of the following criteria:

• Secure a job offer
• Arrange employment
• Previously study in Canada
• Be a family member of an international student in Canada or a Canadian citizen
• Meet the eligibity requirement for a current immigration program

If you satisfy any of these criteria, schedule a work consultation with our Canadian immigration team member.
