Who Needs a Work Permit?A work permit is required for most foreign nationals who want to work legally in Canada. We assist with a wide range of applications, including:
● Employer-specific work permits (tied to a specific employer, role, and location)● Open work permits (not job-specific—available in certain family or humanitarian situations)● Post-Graduation Work Permits (PGWP) (for international students completing Canadian post-secondary programs)● Bridging open work permits(for individuals waiting on a permanent residency decision)● LMIA-based permits(supported by a Labour Market Impact Assessment from a Canadian employer)
Each category has unique eligibility requirements, and we guide you through the criteria clearly and compassionately.
Our Work Permit Process
1. Eligibility & Needs Assessment
We begin by understanding your goals—whether you’re applying as an individual or employer. We identify the most suitable work permit type, based on your qualifications, job offer, and immigration history.

2. Documentation & Employer Support
We prepare a customized document checklist, including employment contracts, education records, identity documents, and any required employer paperwork (such as LMIA forms or offer of employment numbers for LMIA-exempt cases).

3. Application Preparation & Filing
Our team drafts and submits all necessary forms to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) or the appropriate visa office, ensuring compliance with current immigration policies and timelines.

4. IRCC Correspondence & Follow-Up
We handle all communication with IRCC, track your application's progress, and respond to any requests for further information or clarification.

5. Entry or Status Change Guidance
If you’re outside Canada, we prepare you for border entry and work permit activation. If you’re inside Canada, we guide you through any change-of-status procedures and extension options.
