Work Permits & Employment Pathways
Explore Canada’s leading options for skilled professionals, caregivers, and international workers.
Start Your Journey to Canada
Canada offers multiple work permit pathways for foreign workers, from employer-specific permits to open options. Whether you are a skilled professional, a caregiver, or an intra-company transfer, there is a pathway for you.
Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP)
High-Demand Jobs
TFWP allows Canadian employers to hire foreign workers when no local talent is available. High-demand sectors include hospitality, logistics, agriculture, and healthcare.
Employer Sponsorship
Candidates must have a valid job offer from a Canadian employer. The program ensures fair treatment, wages, and proper working conditions for foreign workers.
LMIA-Based Work Permits
Employer-Specific Authorization
An LMIA (Labour Market Impact Assessment) is proof that hiring a foreign worker will not negatively affect Canada’s job market. This is required for most employer-specific permits.
LMIA-Exempt Work Permits
Intra-Company Transfers
Employees of multinational companies can transfer to Canadian branches without an LMIA.
Trade Agreements
Under agreements like CUSMA, eligible professionals may work in Canada without an LMIA.
Open Work Permits
Some categories, such as spouses of skilled workers, qualify for LMIA-exempt open work permits.
