Quote - Work Permits

To apply for a work permit, most candidates will require a Canadian job offer supported by a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA). There are some exceptions to this requirement, where foreign workers can apply for a work permit without an LMIA or a job offer.

You can apply for an open work permit (work permit without a job offer) if you fall under one of these categories:

  • Spouse or common-law partner of:

    • Employer-specific work permit (LMIA or LMIA-exempt)​ holder

    • Bridging open work permit (BOWP) holder

    • Post-graduation work permit holder

    • Study permit holder

    • Working holiday work permit holder

    • Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP) work permit holder

    • Provincial Nominees

    • Quebec selection certificate (CSQ) holder

  • Working holiday participants

Please book a consultation if you're not sure which type of work permit you should apply for. Consultations can be booked here.

Candidates who qualify to apply for a work permit must also meet the following eligibility requirements:

  • Demonstrate their intent to leave once their work authorization expires; and

  • Prove they have sufficient funds to support themselves and their family in Canada and to return home; and

  • Are not criminally or medically inadmissible to Canada; and

  • Plan to work with an eligible employer; and

  • Can provide any requested documents that may prove their eligibility to enter Canada
