Canada Work Visa

A Canada work visa allows individuals with a job offer from a Canadian employer to work in Canada. This visa is issued to those employed in high-demand occupations who bring their skills to the country. In most cases, obtaining a valid job offer and a work permit from a Canadian employer is required.

Steps to Obtain a Canada Work Visa

  • Receive a Job Offer from a Canadian Employer:
    The first step is obtaining a job offer from a Canadian employer. This offer must comply with Canadian labor laws and regulations.

  • Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) Evaluation:
    In some cases, the employer must obtain an LMIA from the Canadian government to demonstrate that hiring a foreign worker will not negatively impact the local labor market.

  • Prepare Documents & Submit Application:
    After receiving the job offer and (if required) the LMIA, applicants must gather documents related to their job, skills, work experience, and financial stability before submitting their application to the Canadian immigration authorities.

  • Receive Work Permit:
    Upon approval, a work permit is issued, allowing the applicant to enter Canada and begin employment.
