come and work there are many ways that you can get their work permit through studies
job offer or even international agreements let's start discussing how you can get a work payment
through studies if you're planning to come to canada to do a post-secondary education
you may be eligible to work 20 hours per week during your academic sessions and of course if
you do have scheduled breaks you may be eligible to work full-time during that time and just make
sure we are talking about schedule breaks it's not the breaks that you create by yourself or
just request some time off from school those breaks are specifically set by your institution
before coming to canada you have to make sure you're choosing a program that will allow you to
work during your studies and that will lead you to other opportunities to work also after graduation
another option to work through studies is if you are taking a co-op program a co-op program
is a work related part of your educational program that means usually you would have in classes
lessons but also part of your program will be an internship you would be working
and delivering that hours to your institution and you only graduated once you get those hours
for example if you're taking a one-year co-op program and that means six months of study and
six months of work you'll be eligible to work 20 hours in the first six months during your lessons
and you'll be able to work full-time on the last six months and then complete your program and the
co-op programs are not exclusively for private institutions many public institutions still
offering a call program if you have any questions related to a study in canada you can contact us
and our educational team will assist you if you're coming to canada if your spouse or commonwealth
partner they also may be allowed to work and help you with your expenses while you are studying
to be eligible to get that work permit for your spouse or commonwealth partner you have to make
sure you choose the program and the institution that will allow you to apply for that work permit
usually the work permit for your spouse or commonwealth partner will be the same time
duration of your steady parent and depending on the program you choose you may be eligible for
the past graduation work permit the pgwp the pgwp is given to you after your graduation and you have
to make sure the program you did is eligible to get the pgwp most of the times we have to consider
that most programs from public institutions or private institutions financed by the government
or private institutions whether the program was a degree for example an associate degree or bachelor
degree or master's or phd you'll be eligible to get the positive graduation work permit
if you do have a spouse or common law partner in order for them to also get the work permit
during your pjwp you as a graduated you have to make sure you have a job offer you have a contract
to work an occupation that would be classified under nuc 0 a or b and that job offer does not
have to be full-time it could be part-time and if you do not have that job offer your spouse will
have to wait a little bit longer to get that work permit another way to work in canada will be under
the international experience class under that program we do have three different categories
working holiday visa young professional and co-op many countries around the world including europe
and asia will be eligible to get a work permit under that agreement between canada and their
countries you have to make sure your country and canada would have that agreement and you also have
to make sure you meet all the other requirements include the age having or not the job offer
have his approval funds and also applying for the proper visa you can also get a work
permit if you're coming from a country that have specifically a free trade agreement with canada
including u.s colombia peru south korea and panama under those agreements you have to make sure
you'd meet all the requirements for the program you're applying and also to get the support you
need from your employer if you're working for a bigger company and your company will have
a partner in canada that means it's usually a much national company you may be eligible
to be transferred to canada and get a work permit under the inter-company transfer program that way
you can get the employer-specific work permit and you'll be able to come and apply your skills here
if you do speak french and you have a job offer outside of quebec and you meet
all the other requirements you may be eligible to get a work permit under the french mobility
program we do have some experience with that and we can definitely help you as well and talk about
job offer if you do have a job offer and of course you may not qualify for the young professional or
the french mobility program we can also take a look on the lmia applications the lmia is the
abbreviation for labor market impact assessment where the company would apply for an authorization
to get us support to apply for the work permit the company would submit an application to the
federal government showing that they have tried to recruit a canadian or permanent resident in canada
and they couldn't find it so that way they can offer you a job and bring you to canada dma is
a great option for companies that have been trying to recruit and meet the labor shortage
in that specific field and many times companies will be allowed to apply for lmias for more than
one employees at a time if you do have a job offer and a company is willing to support you
with the lmia application it will be a pleasure to discuss with your company how we can help them
to apply for the lmia and make sure we also get the option for you to apply for the work permits
once the lma is approved by the federal government if you do have a job offer in the tax sector
you and your company may be eligible for the global talent stream the global talent stream is
an easier application and much faster we can get it approved within two weeks most of the time once
we made sure the company met the requirements we will help them to submit the application and make
sure that you also be prepared to get your work permit after that the global talent stream is a
great option for tech industry in canada where they cannot find much canadians or permanent
residents to fill the positions and they have to recruit abroad if you do have a nomination
from the province of territory in canada you may be eligible to apply for a work permit
if that program was based on the job offer and allows you to apply for the work department
so once you get that nomination we have to make sure you meet the requirements to apply for the
work permit and also submit your application for permanent residency so we can also justify
that you need that work permit to wait for your application in canada and to start working as
soon as possible also if you have an endorsement in one of the employer driving programs you may
be eligible to apply for the work permit and start working as soon as possible a good example of that
is the atlantic immigration pilot which includes four provinces in the atlantic new brunswick
newfoundland in labrador bei and nobody's gotcha you can also get a work permit under
two pilot programs that were implemented in 2019 the home child care provider and the home
support worker where you need a job offer of a family in canada without other requirements
and submit your application for the work permit once you complete the two years of work experience
you'll be eligible to apply also for permanent residency also if you're in canada applying for
spouse or carmelized sponsorship you may also be eligible to apply for an open work permit
that way you'll be able to work until you get your permanent residency if you haven't assumed
meet the application yet we could add the two applications together but if you have submitted
application for permanent residency and you're still waiting for an answer you're also eligible
to apply for that work permit most of the cases for permanent residency if you are here in canada
and you're still waiting for an answer on your parent advice dance application
you may be eligible to apply for the bridging open work permit in order to apply for the bridging
open work permit you must be the main applicant on your application for permanent residency have your
applications submitted and also make sure your work permit is experimenting four months or less
