Work Permit Service
Navigating the complexities of obtaining a work permit in Canada can be challenging, but with Time2Immigrate, you’ll have the expert guidance you need to simplify the process. Whether you are seeking to work in Canada as a temporary employee, an international graduate, or under a specific trade agreement, we offer tailored services to ensure your application is complete, accurate, and fully compliant with immigration laws.
What is a Work Permit?
A work permit is a document that allows foreign nationals to work legally in Canada. Depending on your unique circumstances, there are various types of work permits available, each with specific requirements and eligibility criteria.
Our Work Permit Services Include:
1. Work Permits Based on Labour Market Impact Assessments (LMIAs):
LMIA-Required Work Permits: For many types of jobs, an employer must first obtain a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) to demonstrate that hiring a foreign worker will not negatively impact the Canadian labour market. We assist employers in navigating the LMIA process, ensuring compliance and proper documentation to support your work permit application.
High-Wage and Low-Wage LMIA Applications: We guide you through the different LMIA types, including applications for high-wage and low-wage positions, and ensure that your application meets wage and employment standards.
2. LMIA-Exempt Work Permits:
Free Trade Agreements (FTAs): Certain international trade agreements, such as the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) and other agreements with countries like Chile, Peru, Colombia, and more, allow for LMIA-exempt work permits. We are well-versed in these agreements and can guide eligible clients through the process with ease.
Intra-Company Transfers: For employees transferring from a foreign branch to a Canadian branch of the same company, we provide specialized support to facilitate a smooth application process.
Other LMIA-Exempt Categories: We also assist with other exemptions, including work permits for spouses of international students, religious workers, and more.
3. Post-Graduation Work Permits (PGWP):
For International Students: If you’ve recently graduated from a Canadian post-secondary institution, you may be eligible for a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP). This open work permit allows you to gain valuable work experience in Canada. We guide you through the eligibility requirements, documentation, and application process to ensure a successful outcome.
4. Bridging Open Work Permits (BOWP):
If you are in the process of applying for permanent residency and your current work permit is about to expire, a Bridging Open Work Permit (BOWP) can allow you to continue working in Canada while your PR application is being processed. We offer full support to help you meet the requirements and maintain your status.
5. Employer-Specific and Open Work Permits:
We assist with both employer-specific work permits, which tie you to a particular job and employer, and open work permits, which allow you to work for any employer in Canada.
