A Canada Work Permit, or Work Visa, is provided to qualifying foreign nationals who wish to work in Canada for a specified length of time.

Individuals must apply for a Work Visa only after being offered a job or signing an employment contract with a Canadian company. Employers must get an LMIA (Labour Market Impact Assessment) from ESDC (Employment and Social Development Canada) authorising them to recruit foreign skilled workers for occupations that cannot be performed by Canadian citizens or permanent residents.

Canada, as one of the world’s major economies, is an excellent destination for persons seeking international employment. The Canadian Work Permit Visa enables business owners, permanent employees, temporary employees, and students to work in Canada. Typically, applicants must have a job offer in hand before submitting an application for a work permit visa.
