Understanding Work Permits
A work permit allows foreign nationals to legally work in Canada. There are various types of work permits, each catering to different needs and circumstances:
- Open Work Permit: Allows you to work for any employer in Canada, except those listed as ineligible. This type of permit is often granted to spouses of skilled workers or international students.
- Employer-Specific Work Permit: Tied to a specific employer and job. This permit restricts you to work only for the employer who has offered you a job, based on a Labor Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) or an offer of employment through the International Mobility Program (IMP).
Navigating the Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) Process
The LMIA is a crucial step for many work permit applications. It is a document that employers in Canada must obtain to hire foreign workers, demonstrating that there are no Canadian citizens or permanent residents available to fill the position. Here’s how the LMIA process works:
- Employer Applies for LMIA: The employer submits an LMIA application to Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) or Service Canada, including details about the job offer and recruitment efforts.
- Assessment of Labour Market: ESDC reviews the application to determine if hiring a foreign worker will have a positive or neutral effect on the Canadian labor market.
- LMIA Decision: If the LMIA is approved, the employer receives a positive LMIA, which is then provided to the foreign worker as part of their work permit application.
