Canada is a leading destination for skilled professionals, temporary workers, and business professionals looking to gain international work experience. If you want to work in Canada, you will likely need a work permit. At Time to Fly Immigration, we provide end-to-end assistance in obtaining work permits, ensuring your application is well-prepared and meets all the legal requirements. Whether you need an LMIA-based work permit, an open work permit, or an extension, our experts will guide you through the process.
A Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is required for most employer-specific work permits. It is a document issued by Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) to confirm that hiring a foreign worker will not negatively impact the Canadian job market. Our team assists employers in preparing and submitting LMIA applications, ensuring compliance with Canadian labor laws and increasing the likelihood of approval.
Once an LMIA is approved, foreign workers can apply for an LMIA-based work permit. This type of work permit is employer-specific, meaning you can only work for the employer mentioned in the LMIA. We help applicants prepare complete applications with the required documents, ensuring they meet all IRCC criteria for approval.
Certain work permits do not require an LMIA and fall under the International Mobility Program (IMP). These include intra-company transferees, NAFTA professionals, post-graduate work permits, and open work permits for spouses. Our experts assess your eligibility for an LMIA exemption, prepare necessary documentation, and ensure compliance with the regulations.
Spouses or common-law partners of temporary foreign workers, international students, and certain permanent residence applicants may be eligible for an open work permit. This permit allows them to work for any employer in Canada without needing an LMIA. We assist in determining eligibility and ensuring timely application submission to allow spouses to work while accompanying their partners in Canada.
International students who have completed a program of study at a designated learning institution (DLI) may be eligible for a Post-Graduate Work Permit (PGWP). This open work permit allows graduates to gain valuable Canadian work experience and increases their chances of qualifying for permanent residency through programs like Express Entry. We help students prepare strong applications, ensuring that they meet all IRCC guidelines and avoid delays.
If your current work permit is about to expire or you need to make changes (such as changing employers or job roles), you must apply for an extension or amendment. Our professionals help you file the correct paperwork, ensuring continuity of your legal work status in Canada.
At Time to Fly Immigration, we understand that working in Canada can be a life-changing opportunity. Our goal is to help you navigate the work permit process efficiently, ensuring a smooth transition into your professional journey in Canada.
