Employer Sponsored Visa/ Work permit

There are 2 types of work permits: open work permits and employer-specific work permits.

​

Open work permits:

An open work permit lets you work for any employer in Canada, with certain exceptions. You can only get an open work permit in specific situations.

Employer-specific work permits:

An employer-specific work permit lets you work in Canada according to the conditions on your work permit, such as:

• the name of the specific employer you can work for

• how long you can work

• the location where you can work (if applicable)

Before you submit your application for an employer-specific work permit, the employer who wants to hire you must complete certain steps and give you either a copy of a Labour Market Impact Assessment or an offer of employment number to include in your application.
