Temporary Work Opportunities in Canada
Work permits are essential for foreign nationals seeking temporary employment in Canada. Work permits generally require a job offer from a Canadian employer, along with an LMIA or an LMIA exemption in some cases. LevLaw offers a thorough assessment of eligibility and assists clients in choosing the most suitable work permit pathway.
Types of Work Permits
- LMIA-Based Work Permits: Issued when employers obtain a positive LMIA confirming the need for foreign workers.
- International Mobility Program (IMP): LMIA-exempt permits under agreements like the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) or provincial nominee programs.
- Bridging Open Work Permit (BOWP): For those transitioning from a temporary permit to permanent residency through programs like Express Entry.
Work Permit Application Process
Applicants must submit an online work permit application, along with a visitor visa or family member permits as needed. LMIA-based applications require employers to submit a job offer and pay an employer compliance fee, which will be shared with the worker. Applications are processed within varied timelines, with two-week expedited processing for high-demand positions.
