Have you ever wondered about the <strong>procedures that must be followed to emigrate and work in Canada<\/strong>? Here is an in-depth look at the work permit and at how to obtain it.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>Recruitment prospects in Canada are now really attractive<\/strong> but emigrating to a new country is very challenging. For newcomers who are seeking to set up in Canada, specific procedures apply as well as immigration-related programs. Let\u2019s take a look.<\/p>\n<h2>Obtaining a work permit in Canada<\/h2>\n<p>Since you are not a permanent resident or a Canadian citizen yet, and you wish to enter the work market on a permanent basis, you must <strong>apply for a work permit in the first place<\/strong>. However, there are many different work permits as well as simplified procedures for some of them.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The different work permits<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3>Closed work permit<\/h3>\n<p>In order to obtain this permit, you must have an employer in Canada. <strong>Canadian employers may need a Labour Market Impact Assessmen<\/strong>t (LMIA) before hiring a foreign worker. Indeed, the employers must prove to the Canadian government that no Canadian citizen is available for the position. They must place a job offer nationwide and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.canada.ca\/en\/immigration-refugees-citizenship\/services\/work-canada\/hire-foreign-worker\/temporary\/find-need-labour-market-impact-assessment.html\">find out if they need a Labour Market Impact Assessment<\/a> before applying for an LMIA.<\/p>\n<h3>Open work permit<\/h3>\n<p>A work permit grants authorization to work for any employer throughout Canada. This is a useful clarification for a work permit is usually issued for a specific employer. Moreover, an open work permit is typically linked to an already submitted application and <strong>there is no requirement for employers to get a labour market opinion beforehand<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>Intracompany transfer<\/h3>\n<p>This program helps employee transfers between a foreign company and its Canadian branch along. Only workers such as executives, directors or with specialised knowledge are entitled to LMIA exemption.<\/p>\n<h3>Work permit for recently graduated students<\/h3>\n<p>Those who are allowed to study in Canada and pursue advanced degrees can work on Canadian soil by obtaining a post-graduation work permit. This permit enables a foreign student to work for any employer and <strong>gain valuable experience on the Canadian labour market<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>To avoid mistakes, we recommend you ask a professional regarding the appropriate work permits. <strong>Feel free to contact our experts at ASD Group so that they can assist you in the formalities and services of posting of workers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You are a potential immigrant to Canada or a Canadian employer wishing to hire a qualified employee?
