To apply for a Work Permit, foreign workers or students studying in Canada need to meet the following conditions:
The basic documents needed for candidates to apply for a Canada’s Work Permit:
In essence, this is a document assessing the impact of hiring foreign workers on the domestic labor resources.
A positive LMIA will show the need to hire foreign workers for a given job, for which there is no available Canadian worker or permanent resident at that time.
The employer will apply for the LMIA application and if the result is Positive, the worker can apply for a Work Permit in Canada.
Steps to apply for a Canada’s Work Permit:
Typically, applying for a Canada’s Work Permit is a two-step process:
Step 1
In most cases, the first step to obtaining a Canada’s Work Permit is to apply for a Labor Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) from Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC). Typically, a Canadian employer must make recruitment efforts in the country, and demonstrate that there are no Canadian permanent residents or citizens qualified for current position.
Step 2
After having a positive LMIA, the candidate can apply for a Work Permit.
The work permit is exclusive to the employer, unless the worker has an open work permit. If a worker wants to change employers, they must obtain a new Work Permit before undertaking another job in Canada. Note : Canada’s work permit also has validity.
Unlike workers, international students in Canada have many options regarding Work Permit. For each option, the conditions will be different. As follows:
This type of work permit is included with the study permit. With this, international students will be able to work off-campus for a maximum of 20 hours/week and full-time while on vacation.
This type of permit is issued to students studying in Canada in which an internship is included in the study program (this internship cannot make up more than 50% of the study program).
The work permit for study only allows students to work within the framework of the study program, not to work outside.
This Work Permit is for international students with stricter conditions than the two mentioned above. Conditions are as follows:
This type of work permit is different from others, as it does not designate a specific job or employer. It allows its holder to work for any Canadian employer with many possibiliies.
An open work permit does not require the applicant to have a job offer, or a positive Labor Market Impact Assessment (LMIA).
