Eligible individuals from across the borders can work on Canadian soil for a stipulated amount of time by acquiring the Canadian Work Permit or Work Visa.

Potential immigrants are required to register and apply for a work visa subsequently after a valid job offer or an employment contract has been made via an employer based overseas in Canada. The first step to acquiring a work permit involves the employer submitting an LMIA (Labour Market Impact Assessment) to the ESDC (Employment and Social Development Canada) which grants them permission to recruit skilled employees from across borders for posts and slots that cannot be otherwise filled in by native citizens or permanent residents of the country.

Being a forerunner in the race of global economy, Canada creates a conducive environment for individuals waiting to unlock their potential abroad. The Canadian Work Permit Visa allows people from different walks of life from business moguls to ambitious students to earn a livelihood based in Canada. Typically, aspiring applicants are required to put forward a job offer in order to qualify for the work permit visa.
