Canada Work Permit

Canada Work Permit
Canada work permit allows an individual to move to Canada to work for a specific position in a particular company for a temporary period. This temporary Canadian work visa is not meant to act as a route for settling in the country as a permanent resident. Canadian employers are benefited from issuance of this type of work visa by the Canadian government. If employers do not get eligible candidates to fill up certain positions with Canadian citizens or permanent residents of the country, they can hire employees/workers from outside Canada. Selected candidates from outside Canada can apply for this type of work permit through Citizenship and Immigration Canada to migrate to Canada and work for a specific employer.

Benefits
Unlike Skilled Worker Visa or other business visas issued by Canadian government, the temporary work permit does not require any assessment based on point system. For a worker who is already in Canada with a work permit, applying for permanent residency becomes easier and faster for him/her.

Working permit for Canada allows an applicant to work in the country. However, the applicant needs a specific job offer from a sponsoring employer in Canada. This type of temporary work visa is not transferable. While staying in the country, an applicant is allowed to apply for any other Canadian visa related to immigration. However, to apply for other immigrant or work visa, the existing Canada work permit should remain valid during the time of application.

Eligibility
Written Job Offer from an Employer: If an applicant for Canada work permit already has a written job offer from an employer then it would be much easier for him/her to secure the permit.

A Canadian employer sponsoring a candidate from outside the country is in a way responsible to check whether the candidate possesses all the required documents and permits to work with them. It is only after an employer gets an affirmation that the job can be offered to a foreign national, they send a confirmation letter to the candidate issued by Labour Market Opinion. Foreign nationals willing to work in Quebec with Canada work permit will also require an authorization approved by the Quebec Immigration Authorities. A candidate then can apply for work permit from Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) with a proper application along with mandatory documents and the detail job offer.

HRSDC
Once a job offer is made from a Canadian employer to a candidate outside the country, the Human Resources and Skills Development Canada (HRSDC) will assess the case. Nevertheless, this does not ensure that an applicant will get Canada work permit. The candidate is required to submit different proofs and documents to get consent to move to Canada with a work permit.

Dependants
Work permit visa for Canada also makes provision for an applicant’s spouse to live in Canada for a brief period. A Canada work permit holder is allowed to bring his/her wife/husband, common-law partner or children who are dependent on him/her. If the applicant’s partner or spouse wishes to work in Canada, then he/she has to individually apply for respective working visa. In certain cases, foreign nationals may also require a Temporary Resident Visa to accompany a person already holding a work permit in Canada.

Exemptions from Applying Canada Work Permit
There are certain exceptions where a person does not require a work permit to move to Canada for a temporary basis. Foreign government officers, performing artists, emergency service providers, news reporters, civil aviation inspectors and crew members, investigators, clergy, judges, referees, public speakers, coaches, athletes, military personals and some other members from special professions are exempted from applying a work permit while travelling or staying in the country in special cases.
