Work Permits – Build Your Career in Canada

Canada offers a wide range of opportunities for foreign nationals to work temporarily or transition to permanent residence. A valid work permit is required for most foreign workers, and choosing the right type of permit is critical to a successful application. Whether you have a job offer or qualify for an open work permit, Duggal Immigration Services can help you every step of the way.

We provide complete assistance in identifying the appropriate work permit, preparing a strong application, and ensuring compliance with all Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) guidelines. Our goal is to help you work in Canada legally and confidently while planning for future settlement if desired.

Types of Work Permits

• Employer-Specific Work Permit: This permit allows you to work for a specific employer, location, and duration as outlined in your job offer and approved LMIA (if applicable).
• Open Work Permit: This type of permit allows you to work for almost any employer in Canada and does not require a prior job offer or LMIA in most cases. It’s often available to spouses of skilled workers or international students, and certain applicants under humanitarian programs.

Who Can Apply?

• Foreign workers with a valid job offer from a Canadian employer
• International students’ spouses or graduates eligible for Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP)
• Participants in international agreements (e.g., NAFTA, IEC)
• Refugees, protected persons, or vulnerable individuals with special authorization

Key Requirements

• Proof of job offer (for employer-specific permits)
• Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA), if applicable
• Proof of qualifications, relevant experience, or education
• Medical exam or biometrics, if required
• Demonstration of intent to leave Canada when the permit expires (unless transitioning to PR)
