Work Permit
You must make sure you can live and work legally in Canada for the term of your contract if you have been employed by a Canadian company. In order to legally work in Canada, you will require a work permit.
Your firm must submit an application for and be granted a Labour Market Impact Assessment before sending a temporary foreign worker to Canada (LMIA). In accordance with this paper from Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC), an employer is permitted to employ foreign workers. Although in some circumstances you may be eligible for an exemption and may not need a positive LMIA, you must have this in order to apply for a work visa and to lawfully work in Canada. We can help you comprehend your alternatives and pick the finest course of action for your circumstances.
If your employer plans to obtain a work permit through an LMIA exempt category, your employer must have registered the offer of employment with IRCC.
Spousal Open Work Permit
In many cases, the spouse or common-law partner of foreign workers may be entitled to receive an open work permit. An open work permit entitled an individual to work for any employer.
Post Graduate Work Permit
International students who fulfill certain criteria may become temporary foreign workers in Canada. There are strict eligibility requirements and strict timeframes that must be adhered to in order to acquire a Post Graduate Work Permit.
Caregiver Work Permits
Hiring a home child care provider or a home support worker is covered under carer work licences. In Canada, there are now two pilot projects for carer employment.
After two years of qualifying work experience in Canada, in-home carers have the chance to apply for permanent residency through the Home Child Care Provider and Home Support Worker pilot programmes. These programmes also enable their family members to work or study in Canada as they gain work experience there.
Children are looked after by home child care professionals on a temporary or ongoing basis. In addition to taking care of the children in their care's physical and social development, they also have responsibilities for their well-being. They could also lend a hand around the house. Care may be given in their own house or the home of the children, who may also live there. Providers of in-home childcare may work for private houses, daycare centres, or independently. Daycare providers are excluded from this scheme. For elders, those recovering from illness, people with disabilities, and home support workers, personal care and company are provided. Care is given inside the client's house, which may also be the home of the home support worker.
