Work Permit in Canada

A Work Permit allows foreign nationals to legally work in Canada for a specific employer or under an open work arrangement. Work permits can be employer-specific or open, depending on eligibility and immigration pathways.

At Mannz Canada Immigration Consultants, we provide comprehensive guidance for obtaining, extending, or transitioning your Canadian work permit, helping clients navigate complex regulations efficiently.

Post Graduate Work Permit (PGWP)

The Post Graduate Work Permit is designed for international students who have completed a Canadian post-secondary program.

Key Features:

• Duration up to 3 years depending on program length
• Open work permit, allowing work for any employer
• Enables gaining Canadian work experience to support permanent residency

We assist students with eligibility assessment, document preparation, and timely application submission, ensuring a smooth transition from study to work in Canada.

LMIA-Based Work Permit

An LMIA-based work permit is required when an employer in Canada needs approval to hire a foreign worker.

Eligibility Requirements:

• Valid job offer from a Canadian employer
• Positive Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) from Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC)
• Compliance with Canadian immigration laws

Our team helps with LMIA documentation, work permit application preparation, and submission, minimizing processing delays and improving approval chances.

We provide expert guidance to ensure applications are complete and applicants receive maximum protection while securing their work permit.

Spousal Open Work Permit (SOWP)

The Spousal Open Work Permit allows the spouse or common-law partner of a Canadian citizen or permanent resident to work in Canada while their permanent residence application is processed.

Eligibility Criteria:

• Spouse or common-law partner of a Canadian citizen or PR
