Canadian Work Permit - What Kind of Work Permits Are There?

For many people, work permits are the first thing they learn about life in Canada. These permits bring many fantastic employment opportunities for talents worldwide who want to work in Canada. 


Every year, Canada issues around half a million work permits to temporary foreign workers. 

However, there are over 100 different work permit options for new employees, and getting around these expansive varieties of options is not easy. This was the main reason we wanted to clarify possible options and make this process easier for you. 

We have worked with workers from many countries for years, helping them meet new opportunities. So if you’re interested in working in Canada and want to know more about work permits, keep reading and learn more. 


Types of Canadian Work Permit


As we mentioned, many options exist for obtaining a Canadian work permit. Some of them require a job offer from a Canadian employer. In contrast, others require an employer to provide Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA). And the third group of permits requires that a person has some connection to Canada, like previous education or spousal sponsorship. Now, let’s go through each group and name permits under each of them. 


Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) required: 


  • Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP), 
  • Facilitated LMIA (Quebec), 
  • Global Talent Stream. 


Job offer or contract required: 


  • International Mobility Program (IMP), 
  • NAFTA Work Permits, 
  • CETA Work Permits, 
  • Intra-Company Transfers. 


Open Work Permits (no job offer or LMIA required): 


  • Post-Graduation Work Permits (PGWP), 
  • Spousal Sponsorship from Inside of Canada, 
  • International Experience Canada (IEC), 
  • Bridging Open Work Permit (BOWP), 
  • Spouse Accompanying International Student or Worker. 

  

If you need more information about any of these categories of work permits, feel free to contact us and book an online appointment. Our immigration lawyer has many years of experience in Canadian immigration law. We have  helped many foreign workers to get their work permits and to start working in Canada.
