Work permit
Securing employment in Canada typically necessitates a job offer from a Canadian employer, and in some cases, a positive Labor Market Impact Assessment (LMIA), among other eligibility criteria.
Work permits in Canada fall into two main categories:
- Employer-Specific Work Permit: This type of work permit ties the holder to a particular Canadian employer mentioned in the application. To obtain it, individuals usually require a job offer from a specific Canadian employer, and in some instances, a positive LMIA might be necessary. Your employer must provide you with a copy of your employment contract, as well as either a copy of an LMIA or an offer of employment number (for LMIA-exempt workers) before you apply for this permit.
- Open Work Permit: The open work permit is a versatile work authorization in Canada, allowing foreign nationals to work for any employer across the country. Unlike employer-specific permits, it isn't limited to a particular job or employer, providing greater flexibility for individuals exploring various employment opportunities.
LMIA
LMIA and work permit applications are applicable when you, as an employer, wish to hire foreign nationals for positions that cannot be filled by Canadian citizens or permanent residents. LMIA is typically required unless an exemption applies.
- How does It Work: The LMIA process involves assessing the impact of hiring a foreign worker on the Canadian labor market. It ensures that hiring a foreign national will not negatively affect job opportunities for Canadian workers. After receiving a positive LMIA, the foreign worker can apply for a work permit.
- Criteria in Ontario: In Ontario, the employer must meet specific criteria, including advertising the job to Canadian citizens or permanent residents, offering wages that align with prevailing rates, and providing a written job offer. LMIA approval is contingent on these and other requirements.
- Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs): While LMIA remains a key avenue for hiring foreign workers, certain provinces have their Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs). These programs enable provinces to nominate foreign workers for permanent residence based on their skills, experience, and ability to contribute to the local economy.
study permits
The study permit process involves proving your eligibility, financial capability, and adherence to Canadian laws.
- You must demonstrate that you're enrolled at a Designated Learning Institution (DLI), have sufficient funds to cover tuition fees, living expenses, and return transportation. Complying with medical and criminal record requirements is also crucial. Our expert assistance can increase the likelihood of a successful application, allowing you to pursue your educational aspirations in Canada.
- Criteria for Eligibility: To qualify for a study permit, you must meet specific criteria, including enrollment at a DLI, financial preparedness, adherence to the law, good health (with a required medical exam if necessary), and a commitment to leaving Canada upon the permit's expiration.
visitor visas

A visitor visa allows individuals to travel to Canada for a temporary stay, such as tourism, family visits, or business purposes. Applicants must demonstrate their intent to return to their home country, provide proof of funds to support their stay, and satisfy health and security requirements. The application process involves submitting the required documents, including aletter of invitation if applicable, and attending a visa interview if requested.

BUSINESS VISITOR
A business visitor is an individual who travels to Canada for temporary business purposes, such as meetings, conferences, or negotiations. Business visitors typically do not engage in hands-on work that would directly benefit a Canadian employer, and their primary source of remuneration remains outside Canada.
- To enter Canada as a business visitor, individuals may need to demonstrate the purpose of their visit, provide documentation related to their business activities, and ensure they meet the criteria for temporary entry.
- Business visitors should have all relevant documents on hand to present to the officer when seeking entry to Canada, including letters of support from the business visitor’s employer and a letter of invitation from the Canadian host business.
