The former is a temporary work permit where you can start your employment options in Canada before making an application for PR status in Canada whereas the later is a synonym for job offer from a Canadian employer, after you have received a PR status in Canada.

Canada Work Permit

Before deciding on whether to make Canada as your permanent residence, candidates can opt to go on a Canada Temporary Work permit, hence having a kaleidoscopic view of Canadian ambiance and its job culture. Abhinav’s team of Canadian immigration specialists would put the best foot forward in filling and filing of your application form for a successful Canadian Work Permit.

One such option is the Labour Market Opinion, in which Canadian employers recruit overseas workers on a temporary basis to fulfill the skill shortages in Canada. Hence, people with the required skills/labor/proficiency have higher chances of working in Canada under the Labor Market Opinion. To keep the facet transparent, a majority of Canadian employers intending to hire temporary overseas workers need to get a positive Labor Market Opinion from Service Canada.

Applicants wishing to work in Canada would need a work permit from CIC (Citizenship and Immigration Canada). After getting receipt of the work permit application as well as the approval of Labor Market Opinion, CIC decides whether to grant work permit to the overseas applicant or not. Our sheer guidance would ensure that the facet of authenticity is maintained throughout the application process.

Human Resources and Skills Development Canada/Service Canada works with employers who want to hire foreign workers.

Citizenship and Immigration Canada and the Canada Border Services Agency work with overseas workers intending to temporarily work in Canada. While on the other hand, Human Resources and Skills Development Canada/Service Canada work with the Canadian employer who is aiming to hire the overseas worker.

Please note that Canada work permit is normally granted for one or two years. In some cases, applicants can apply for extensions, but indefinite extension is NOT granted. For an indefinite residence status, it is advised to apply for a Canadian Federal Skilled Worker program. Our Canadian immigration experts would guide you in every process.
