How to Apply for a Canadian Work Permit?
Everyone who is willing to work and settle in Canada, except a few exceptions require filing an application for work permit. Getting a work permit is a two-step process. In most cases, you need to have a valid offer letter or an LMIA to apply for Canadian work permit.
Step 1: The first step is to get a Canadian work permit by applying for a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) from the Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC). For this, the Canadian employer is required to prove that they have taken every possible step to recruit a permanent resident, but didn’t find anyone eligible to be hired.
Step 2: After a positive LMIA has been issued, the applicant can apply for a Canadian work permit.
In most cases, work permits are employer specific, so if you are willing to change your job or employer, you need to obtain a separate work permit for that.
