Working in Canada with MSAWEST Immigration

Understanding Canadian Work Permits

Embarking on a journey to work in Canada? Let MSAWEST
Immigration guide you. If you’re a foreign national, a Canadian work permit is
your passport to tap into the diverse professional opportunities the country
offers. With over 100 options, the Canadian work spectrum is both rewarding and
extensive.

Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) vs. International Mobility Program (IMP)

TFWP: Necessitates a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA), ensuring that hiring foreign talents won’t adversely affect Canada’s local workforce. The objective? To preserve the interests of Canadian workers and protect their wages.

IMP: This program offers multiple LMIA-exempt work permits, benefitting from agreements like CUSMA. It’s ideal for those without a job offer in Canada, offering paths like working holidays, post-graduate work permits, and open spousal work permits.

Canadian Work Permit Avenues

LMIA Required: An essential process where employers validate to the government that hiring a foreign worker won’t impact Canada’s existing workforce negatively.
LMIA Exempt: Some scenarios grant individuals the privilege to work in Canada without an LMIA, facilitated by MSAWEST Immigration.
CUSMA Work Permits: Under the Canada-United-States-Mexico Agreement, professionals can work without needing an LMIA.
Intra-Company Transfers: Companies can relocate specific employees from their global offices to Canada, bypassing the LMIA requirement.
Business Visitors: Business enthusiasts can work in Canada without a permit, given they don’t integrate into the Canadian labor market and adhere to the set criteria.
Post-Graduation Work Permits: A boon for international students in Canada, allowing them to work post-graduation for up to three years, leveraging their skills and adding value to the Canadian workspace.
