Work permits are essential if you are interested in working in Canada whether for a temporary job or a permanent job.
If you have a valid job offer from a Canadian employer then you may be eligible to obtain a work permit from outside of Canada.
We can also assist if you are in Canada and interested in obtaining a work permit to legally work during your stay. Contact our office in order to help you determine which is the best option for you.
There are different types of work permits avaiable for interested clients, if you are not sure which one to apply for then simply fill out our form and include a brief description of what you are interested in and we will get back to you within 24 hours.
We also provide services for interested Canadian employers that require LMIA ( Labour market impact assessment).
Positive LMIAs are essential if an employer is interested in hiring foreign workers.
