Providing Work Permit
Work permit refers to a permission for identifying the qualification and competence of people to work in Canada. In other word, this kind of work permit is issued by an employer in order to work in a specific job, in which all of the terms and details related to the job if interest is cited including work hours, salaries, benefits, and job descriptions. Those possessing this kind of work permit are only allowed to do the relevant job so that if they find a new work position, they must pass the procedure to change the work permit. Actually, having a work permit, non-Canadian citizens are able to occupy the determined position. To issue and receive various work permits in Canada, different procedures must be carried out, which Sabouri Immigration Institute will help you with years of experience in this field.
Types of work permit:
Generally, there are two types of work permits in Canada, which are provided based on the type of visa and job position of the person having their own rules. It should be mentioned that the rules related to obtaining visas in different states of Canada are slightly different, which should be taken into consideration in advance.
Open work permit
This type of work permit in Canada allows the applicant to work for any employer in the country provided that the employer is not on the list of unauthorized employers and the jobs or services of the individuals do not conflict with Canadian labor laws. It is possible to receive an Open work permit in certain situations, for example, in a situation where the applicant has immigrated to Canada to continue his education, only his companion will be able to receive an Open work permit. This means that a person’s companion can work in all fields of work without any restrictions. Only in some fields, such as the educational system or the medical system, a medical test is mandatory. It is interesting to know that other companions of the person applying for a study visa, such as children of school age, can receive a study visa, and if they are younger than the required age or have graduated, they can only receive a visitor visa until the age of 21.
Obtaining an Open work permit is not a complicated process, but getting a Closed work permit requires going through certain steps.
Closed work permit
This type of work permit is issued in order to engage in a specific job that has been offered to a person by an employer, and in which all the descriptions and details of the job, including working hours, the amount of salary and benefits, and all the duties assigned to the workforce, are mentioned. Those having this type of work permit are only allowed to work in the determined job, and if they find a new position, they must go through the process of changing the work permit. Usually, the validity period of Closed work permit is two to three years.
In closed work permit, it is necessary to obtain LMIA and it constrained the person with the permit to perform a specific job for a specific employer in a specific location. Obtaining the LMIA certificate confirms the value of this method. As mentioned earlier, the process of obtaining this certificate is somewhat difficult; however, our experts at Sabouri Immigration Institute will make it possible for you to receive this valid certificate as soon as possible.
You can get the LMIA certificate at Sabouri Immigration Institute in a fully guaranteed way.
The prerequisites for obtaining a closed work permit are:
- Advertising and publishing enough ads for the desired job and convincing the federal government (the purpose of submitting an LMIA application is for the employer to show that he has not found Canadian labor for the desired job.)
- Submission of complete documents by the employer to the Canadian Labor Department
According to the state records they have obtained in one year, the applicants who use the method of obtaining a closed work permit can apply for permanent residence in Canada. Common provincial methods in provinces such as Saskatchewan, British Columbia, Manitoba or the eastern provinces each have their own programs. Among these methods, we can refer to methods such as CEC, Canadian Experience (Canadian work experience), etc., which can be very effective in your path to obtaining permanent residence.
CEC is considered to be one of the most popular traditional methods of the province, which includes a wide range of applicants. In this method, it is very important to have a language certificate with a score of 6.5. Also, since the level of competition in this method is very high, the higher the score you get, the higher your chances of success.
As you know, the persons applying for closed work permit are placed in different NOCs. The system used to describe Canadian occupations is called NOC. These job groups include a wide range of jobs that differ based on the skill level of people, the level of education, the level of language knowledge, etc. For example, jobs classified in NOC00 include high-level management jobs.
- Keep in mind that having at least three years of work relationship, insurance records and language certificate are prerequisites for obtaining a closed work permit.
