work permit

A temporary work permit is required for anyone residing outside of Canada who wants to work in Canada. Before coming to Canada, a foreign worker must have an accepted employment offer from an eligible employer.

Employers interested in hiring under the TFWP must first complete the Labour Market Impact Assessment, which is administered by the Canadian government (LMIA). He or she should also fulfil the qualifications, experience, and licensing criteria (if there are any)
