Canada Work Permit through Job Offer

Secure temporary employment in Canada through an employer-backed job offer

One of the most common pathways to obtain a Canadian work permit is by receiving a valid job offer from a Canadian employer. This route is especially ideal for individuals seeking quicker access to the Canadian job market and who may not meet the criteria for study permits or other indirect immigration streams.

What is a Work Permit through Job Offer?

This type of work permit is issued to foreign nationals who have received a formal, approved job offer from a Canadian employer. The offer must align with labor market needs and, in most cases, requires a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA). For this type of work permit, the employer must obtain a positive LMIA from Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC).

Types of Job Offers for Work Permits

LMIA-required Job Offers
For most employer-specific work permits, the employer must first secure an LMIA, a document confirming that hiring a foreign worker will not negatively affect the Canadian labor market.

Main Requirements for a Job Offer-Based Work Permit

• A valid, written job offer from a Canadian employer
• Relevant skills, education, or work experience for the position
• Ability to perform the job duties as required
• A positive LMIA (if applicable)
• Supporting documents, including a professional resume, academic credentials, language test results (if required), and proof of financial capacity

Benefits of Obtaining a Work Permit through Job Offer

• Direct and fast entry into the Canadian workforce
• Opportunity to gain Canadian work experience, which supports permanent residency through Express Entry and PNPs
• Family accompaniment: Spouses may be eligible for an Open Work Permit, and children can access public education
• Possibility to renew the permit or transition to permanent residency based on continued employment

Immigration Pathways that Value Job Offers

• Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs): Several provinces prioritize applicants with job offers.
• Express Entry – FSW or CEC stream: A valid job offer, particularly with an LMIA, significantly boosts the CRS score.
• Atlantic Immigration Program and Rural & Northern Immigration Pilot (RNIP): Focused on attracting skilled workers to regional employers.
