WORK PERMIT
A Work Permit is an official document issued by the Government of Canada that authorizes foreign nationals to work legally in Canada for a specified period. It is required for individuals who wish to engage in employment within Canada's borders, whether on a temporary or permanent basis. Work Permits are typically issued based on specific job offers from Canadian employers, who may need to obtain a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) to demonstrate that there are no Canadian citizens or permanent residents available to fill the position. In certain cases, individuals may be eligible for open Work Permits, which allow them to work for any employer in Canada without the need for a job offer. Work Permits are subject to various conditions, including restrictions on the type of work and the
duration of employment, and individuals must comply with these conditions to maintain their legal status in Canada. It's important for foreign workers to obtain a Work Permit before starting employment in Canada to avoid potential immigration violations and consequences.
