Canada offers various work visas, each with unique requirements and application processes. Choosing the right work permit is essential to ensure you’re legally permitted to work within Canada. Whether you have a job offer, are planning to join a family member, or want to pursue post-graduate work, there are options for you.

The main types of work permits include employer-specific permits, open work permits, and specialized permits like the Global Talent Stream. Let’s explore each type to help you find the right fit for your needs.

Types of Work Visas Available

Employer-Specific Work Permit: This visa allows individuals to work for a designated employer. Often, an LMIA (Labour Market Impact Assessment) is required to prove that a Canadian worker is not available for the job.

Open Work Permit: Unlike employer-specific permits, an open work permit allows you to work for almost any employer in Canada. This is ideal for spouses or post-graduate students looking for flexible work opportunities.

International Mobility Program (IMP): This program facilitates foreign workers under agreements like the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), allowing certain applicants to work without an LMIA.

• Employer-Specific Work Permit for those with specific job offers
• Open Work Permit for spouses and post-graduate students
• International Mobility Program for international agreements like CETA
• Global Talent Stream for specialized tech and in-demand fields

Selecting the right visa depends on your employment situation, skills, and career goals. Consulting with an immigration expert can ensure that you choose the best pathway for your unique situation.
