Work Permit

Foreign nationals who desire to work in Canada may require a work permit and there are two programs through which work permits can be obtained, one is the TFWP or the Temporary Foreign Worker Program and the other one is the International Mobility Program.

The TFWP is intended to help Canadian employers recruit foreign workers in response to labour market shortages. The TFWP is an employer-specific work permit. Your employer must get a positive labour market impact assessment (LMIA) before you submit your application, whereas the International Mobility Program doesn’t require the employer to obtain a positive LMIA. There may be certain occupations that may be exempt from a work permit requirement.

There are 2 types of work permits:

Employer Specific Work Permit: An employer-specific work permit lets you work in Canada according to the conditions on your work permit, such as:

  • The name of the specific employer.
  • How long you can work.
  • The location where you can work.

Open Work Permit: An open work permit lets you work for any “eligible” employer in Canada.
