Each year, thousands of skilled foreign workers arrive in Canada for work on temporary work permits. Canadian permanent residency will allow you to work without going through a point-based assessment. To work temporarily in Canada, skilled foreign workers must have a job offer from a Canadian employer and have a Labour Market Assessment done by Employment and Social Development Canada.
Eligibility Criteria for Work Permit
Canada Work Permits cannot be issued without a Canada Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA). This LMIA must be applied by the Canadian employer that wants to hire temporary foreign workers. Once you have received written documentation of your job offer, contract of employment, and Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA), it is time to apply. The Immigration department officer must verify that you meet all requirements and that you are coming to Canada for temporary stays. Also, you must:
You must inform an officer that you intend to leave Canada at the end of your employment.
Mention good reasons to return.
You must show that you are able to meet the requirements for the job by providing your previous experience letter or resume.
You are financially strong to support yourself including your family members while living in Canada.
Be law-abiding, and have never been convicted of any criminal activity.
Having good health
Documents other than English or in French language need to translate into English.
To prove your admissibility, the officer may request additional documents.
