Work Visa

A Canadian work permit may be employer-based or open. In the employer-specific work permit, the employer’s name and employment conditions are included on the permit. Open work permits are issued only in specific statutory or public-policy categories. Our services include identifying the appropriate work permit category, assessing the LMIA requirement or an available exemption, reviewing the job offer, preparing forms and documents, and following up on the application.

Having a job offer does not always mean you are qualified, and not every job offer is valid. Before paying the money or signing the contract with the employer, the genuineness of the offer and legal requirements should be checked.

The applicant must meet the general conditions of the work permit and, depending on the route:

• A positive LMIA and a valid job offer; or
• under one of the LMIA exemptions, provide the offer of employment number and the employer’s documents; or
• Be eligible for an open work permit under one of the specified groups;
• show the ability to do the job and the necessary professional documents or provincial license;
• convince the officer that they will leave Canada at the end of their authorized stay;
• have sufficient funds and clear immigration history;
• Be admissible on medical, criminal, and security grounds.

Professional fees are determined after reviewing the applicant’s circumstances, immigration history, number of family members, the complexity of the matter, and the scope of services required. To receive an assessment and fee information, please book a professional consultation. After the assessment, the services, professional fees, and payment terms will be confirmed in a written retainer agreement.

Government processing fees, biometrics, medical examinations, translations, credential assessments, courier charges, and other third-party costs are separate from professional fees unless the written agreement expressly states otherwise.
