Work Visa

Most foreign nationals need a work permit to work in Canada.

There are 2 types of work permits.

• Employer-specific work permit (closed work permit)
• Open work permit

An employer-specific work permit allows you to work according to the conditions on your work permit, which include:

• The name of the employer you can work for
• How long you can work
• The location where you can work (if applicable)
• An LMIA is a document from Employment and Social Development Canada/Service Canada that allows an employer to hire a foreign worker through the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP).

Before you submit your work permit application, your employer must give you:

• A copy of the positive LMIA, and
• Your job offer letter or contract.

An open work permit can be issued to a foreign national only under one of the Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) exemptions.
A foreign national may apply for an open work permit outside Canada, at a port of entry or after arrival to Canada, as per program requirements.
Types of open Work Permits
There are two types of open work permits:

• Unrestricted (allowing foreign nationals to work in any occupation and location)
• Restricted (restricting the occupation or the location)

Open work permits may be issued with the following:

• Pccupational restrictions, depending on the applicant’s medical status [R185(b)]
• Location restrictions, depending on the category (such as a bridging open work permit under the provincial nominee class)

You may be eligible for an open work permit if you:

• Are an international student who graduated from a designated learning institution and are eligible for the Post-Graduation Work Permit Program
• Are a student who’s no longer able to meet the costs of your studies (destitute student)
• Have an employer-specific work permit and are being abused or at risk of being abused in relation to your job in Canada
• Applied for permanent residence in Canada
• Are a dependent family member of someone who applied for permanent residence
• Are the spouse or common-law partner of a skilled worker or international student
• Are the spouse or common-law partner of an applicant of the Atlantic Immigration Pilot Program
• Are a refugee, refugee claimant, protected person or their family member
• Are under an unenforceable removal order
• Are a temporary resident permit holder
• Are a young worker participating in special programs

An open work permit allows you to work for any employer in Canada, except for an employer. There are two different Categories that Candidate can Apply under Post Graduate Work permit and Spousal open Work Permit.
