You can work for any employer in Canada with an open work permit, except for those who are ineligible. In addition, there are specific circumstances in which you may be eligible for an open work permit in Canada. For example, you may be eligible for an open Canada work permit if you are the spouse or family member of someone working temporarily in Canada at a university or college.

Employer specific work permit

Foreign nationals with employer-specific work permits can work in Canada as long as they meet certain conditions outlined in the work permit, which includes:

• Your potential employer’s name,
• The duration of your employment with the employer mentioned
• Working at a particular location (if applicable).

Canada Work Permit From UAE Requirements

The best Canadian immigration consultant in UAE A2W consultants is all in for skilled workers requiring work permits to work in Canada. Requirements for the Canadian Work permit are as follows:

• Before getting a Temporary Work Permit from Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC), a worker must offer employment from a Canadian employer.
• An application for a work permit could take approximately 24 weeks to process if you are from the Middle East.
• Some occupations require approval from the LMIA (Labour Market Impact Assessment). Employers in Canada might have to obtain the LMIA to hire foreign workers.
• The LMIA will show that foreign workers are needed for the job. This will also demonstrate that there aren’t many qualified Canadians available for the job.

A work permit can be issued only after the employer has obtained approval from the LMIA. Workers must meet the following requirements for getting a work permit:

1. Letter of an employment offer,
2. The contract,
3. LMIA copy, and
4. The number assigned to LMIA.

How to apply for a Work Permit in Canada

A2W Canada immigration consultants in UAE in getting the work permit will go through all the paperwork you need. Below check how you can apply for a Canadian Work Visa from the UAE.

• Step 1: Employers apply for LMIA

A Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) may be required before an employer hires a foreign worker. LMIAs will demonstrate the need for a foreign worker to fill the position.

 

• Step 2: Once the LMIA has been approved, the employer will send the employee the temporary job offer and LMIA document.

When a company receives a positive LMIA, it must send a copy of the approval letter to the skilled foreign worker along with the details of the job offer letter since that person needs both documents to apply for a work permit in Canada. The ‘Job Offer Letter’ or employment contract must contain the following information:

➔ Title of the job

➔ Description of the job

➔ Position requirements such as responsibilities and roles

➔ Dates and times of start and end

➔ Information about salaries and their breakdown

➔ Address and name of the employer

 

• Step 3: The skilled foreign worker now can apply for a Canadian work visa from the UAE

You can now begin the process of obtaining a Canadian Work Permit after receiving an LMIA approval letter and ‘Job Offer Letter.

➔ If you seek a temporary work permit for Canada, you should submit your application to Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).

➔ To work temporarily in Quebec, you might also need to obtain a Certificat d’acceptation du Québec (CAQ) from the Canadian employer hiring you.

➔ A visa officer may require you to attend an interview when applying for a temporary Canada work permit visa. The visa officer will also assess your application, job profile, etc., to see how your employment may affect Canadians’ chances of finding work.

➔ The visa officer will grant you a Canada Work Permit if they are satisfied with your overall assessment.

Once you have been assessed, the team will issue you a TRV affixed to your passport.
