What Is a Work Permit in Canada?
A Work Permit is an official document issued by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) that allows foreign nationals to legally work in Canada for a specified employer, job role, and duration.
There are two main types of Work Permits in Canada:
🔹 Employer-Specific Work Permit
Issued to individuals with a valid job offer. This permit includes specific details such as:
- Employer’s name
- Job location
- Duration of employment
Often requires a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) to prove that hiring a foreign worker will not negatively affect the Canadian labor market.
🔹 Open Work Permit
Allows you to work for almost any employer in Canada (with a few restrictions). Commonly issued to:
- Spouses of skilled workers or international students
- Refugee claimants
- Recent graduates eligible under the Post-Graduation Work Permit Program (PGWPP)
What Is an LMIA (Labour Market Impact Assessment)?
An LMIA is a document issued by Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) that proves there is a need for a foreign worker to fill a job and that no Canadian worker is available to do it.
Employers must submit an LMIA application and receive approval before hiring a foreign national. Once approved, the LMIA supports the foreign worker’s Work Permit application.
At Salgado Immigration Law, we help both employers and workers:
- Prepare strong LMIA applications
- Navigate compliance with Canadian labor laws
