Work Permit of Canada

A person who is not a Canadian resident or citizen and who is planning to work in Canada is usually required to obtain a work permit or other approval that he is lawfully doing so. Such permission may arrive in different forms, and requires sophisticated approval prior to eligibility to go into Canada for work.

A Canadian work permit is a provisional resident visa issue by Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) to award authorization to foreign workers looking for employment in Canada. It usually has maximum authority of up to one year, though work permits can be issued for up to three years in a few cases.


How can I get a Work Permit of Canada?

You have to produce a job offer letter from a Canadian employer to obtain a work permit of Canada. A job offer can be through any company that needs the services of a foreign person in Canada.

Pre-requisites of job offer letter from a Canadian Employer:
The job offer is supposed to include the details of the post being offered, it may be in shape of Canadian appointment letter and includes;

1. The designation of the post being required in Canada.
2. The tasks linked with that position.
3. Compensation for employment.
4. The length of the position.
5. Location of the company.

Depending on the precise type of the work permit request, extra details or supporting credentials may have to be incorporated.

The work permit procedure may go long because some applicants for a Canadian work permit will be requisite to go through a medical examination for issuance of Canadian visa earlier.
