\r\n Employer Specific Work Permit <\/h2>\r\n <\/div>\r\n[vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text]In general, a foreign worker, who is not a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident requires a work permit to work legally in Canada. There are some occupations which are exempted from requiring a work permit. However, mostly a work is required from Immigration, refugee, and Citizenship Canada. in most cases, he or she will need to obtain a work permit from Citizenship and Immigration Canada.<\/p>\n

Hiring a foreign worker is a critical question for government of Canada and Canadian employers. It is necessary to evaluate the impact of recruitment of a foreign worker on the labour market in Canada, that is why, a Labor Market Impact Assessment (LMIA), is required before submission of a work permit for a foreign worker.<\/p>\n

LMIA application is submitted to Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC)\/Service Canada which determines the Canadian labour market will be positively or negatively impacted by the employment of the foreign worker. A LMIA may be required in order for a work permit to be issued.<\/p>\n

It is a comprehensive process which starts by the recruitment efforts done by the employer to hire a Canadian first, and if the position is not fulfilled by the Canadians then only it can be offered to foreign nationals.<\/p>\n

Based on the opinion of ESDC, if a positive LMIA is issued then the foreign worker can apply for a work permit to IRCC.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column css_animation=”none” offset=”vc_col-lg-6 vc_col-md-6 vc_col-xs-12″][vc_single_image image=”1917″ img_size=”full” el_class=”image-flat-shadow”][vc_single_image image=”1918″ img_size=”full” el_class=”image-flat-shadow”]
