VALID JOB OFFER FOR WORK PERMIT IN CANADA

In most cases, you must apply before entering Canada, in the candidate’s country of origin or where you have residence with a LEGAL status, demonstrate that you have the education, professional experience and knowledge of English or French necessary to carry out the job offered in Canada.

For many jobs in Canada, it is necessary to have a document called LMIA (Labour Market Impact Assessment) provided by a Canadian government service bureau.

LMIA is the document that an employer in Canada may need BEFORE hiring a foreign worker.

A positive LMIA assessment will demonstrate that there is a need for a foreign worker to fill the job position being offered. It will also demonstrate that NO Canadian citizen or permanent resident could be found to fill the position.
This also includes foreign candidates already residing in Canada with the appropriate work permits, with availability to perform the work that is being offered to the foreign worker.
If the employer needs an LMIA, he or she should make the appropriate arrangements. Employers are generally advised NOT to justify or state that the employment to be given to an alien requires the ability to communicate in a foreign language other than English or French.

Once a positive LMIA assessment is obtained, the foreign worker may apply for a work permit.

To apply for the work permit, the foreign worker needs: A valid job offer.
A contract from your employer. A copy and the LMIA number.
There are some jobs that are exempt from LMIA, as well as specific jobs that have exceptions and special features of being able to be performed without the need for a work permit, or where the permit can be applied for at a port of entry or from within Canada.
Contact our services for questions about your specific situation. Once a valid job offer is obtained, Explore I.D.E.A.S. Immigration and
