Work in Canada

To improve your chances for the new Federal Skilled Workers and Skilled Trades programs or to get Temporary Foreign Workers visa, you need a positive Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) from Human Resources and Skills Development Canada (HRSDC) permitting the employer to hire a foreign worker to fill the job.

To apply for a work permit from outside Canada, you must submit the following documents:

• A job offer from a qualified employer
• A positive Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) from Human Resources and Skills Development Canada (HRSDC) permitting the employer to hire a foreign worker to fill the job

A popular solution for many people, when considering immigration to Canada, is to come to Canada on a temporary work permit and experience living and working in the country before committing to the full immigration process. The Canadian Experienced Class (CEC) and Provincial Nomination Program (PNP) make it easy for lawfully admitted Temporary Foreign Workers with a permanent job offer, to apply for Permanent Residency.

Advantages:

• Apply for immigration from inside Canada, instead of waiting for a relatively long time for application processing outside Canada.
• Stay, and work lawfully for a year; experience the business market, and the rich, multi-cultural Canadian society.
• Improve your score for the new Skilled Workers and Skilled Trades programs.
