So, FYI: you can’t just hop on a plane and start working in Canada for anybody you want if you are not a Citizen or a permanent resident. You need a work permit first.
And, in most cases, for you to get that work permit you need:
- A legitimate Canadian employer willing to hire you.
- A copy of the employment contract with that Canadian employer.
- A copy of a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) or an offer of employment number (for LMIA-exempt workers).
What’s an LMIA? Basically, it’s a document that proves there is a need for a foreign worker to fill a job at the employer because they are unable to find someone in Canada to fill the role.
If you’ve found a legitimate employer in Canada who wants you to come work for them, but you have no idea how to go about getting a work permit, that’s where we can help both you and the employer with the process.
Note: Sorry, but we do not help you find jobs in Canada, because we are not an employment agency. That task is up to you. We recommend you look on the Government of Canada’s JobBank website https://www.jobbank.gc.ca/ if you’re looking for work in Canada as the site will list jobs where employers are looking for temporary foreign workers as well as other jobs available.
