The immigration services by Longia Immigration also covers all the legalities that go into helping you secure a work permit for Canada. A work permit is a legally approved document that allows foreign individuals to work in Canada legally. Except for some special cases, all the international workers require this document to work in the state. You may also require a Temporary Resident Visa to enter Canada, which completely depends on your citizenship, country, or residence.

Types of Work Permit

When it comes to work permit, there are two major types:

• Open work permit
• Employer specific work permit

Longia Immigration helps you secure both.

Open Work Permit: An open work permit provides an international worker the authority to work with possibly any employer in Canada. However, there are some exceptions. It is not allowed to work with employers who fail to comply with the employment standards set by the authority. Also, a work permit does not allow you to engage in businesses such as strip clubs, sex trades, escort services, etc. An open work permit enables foreign individuals with any type of industry; hence you do not require a positive LMIA to apply for a work permit.

Employer Specific Work Permit: In case of employer-specific work permit, an international worker is allowed to work only for a specific employer and for a limited time period. This work permit comes with particular information about the employer, such as name, location of work, time duration, etc. This work permit is also called a closed work permit. In this case, a positive LMIA is required if an international worker wishes to further apply for a Canadian employer.

Applying From Outside Canada?

There is another option to apply for the work permit from a visa agency or office that is outside of Canada. You will be provided complete assistance regarding the fee, procedure, and documentation process. A Police clearance certificate is also mandatory, along with a medical report by a designated medical officer.
