WORK PERMIT
ARE YOU LOOKING FOR WORK PERMIT ?
Foreign workers need an offer of employment from a Canadian Employer before being granted a Work Permit, and in most cases the Canadian Employer needs to obtain a LMIA (Labour Market Impact Assessment) prior to giving a job offer, unless they are exempt from obtaining a LMIA due to International Agreements, Federal-Provincial Agreements or “Canadian Interests” Category.
The Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) allows students who have graduated from a participating Canadian post-secondary institution to gain valuable Canadian work experience. Skilled Canadian work experience gained through the PGWP helps graduates qualify for permanent residence in Canada through the Canadian experience class.

Employers seeking to employ open work permit holders are exempt from the requirement to first obtain a positive Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) from Service Canada.
A work permit under the PGWPP may be issued for the length of the study program, for a maximum of 3 years. A post-graduation work permit cannot be valid for longer than the student’s study program, which must be a minimum of 8 months in duration.
An open work permit allows a foreign national to work for any employer in Canada in any job, except certain restricted professions. An open work permit is issued to the following:
- Spouse/common law partner of a Temporary Foreign Worker
- Spouse/common Law partner of an International Student studying in Canada
- International students who graduated from a Canadian Post-Secondary Institution are eligible to apply for the Post Graduate Work Permit
- Candidates for the International Experience Program (IEC) under the Working Holiday Category
