- Employer-Specific Work Permit: Tied to a specific employer, job, and location. It often requires a positive Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) or an LMIA-exempt offer of employment number. [1, 2]
- Open Work Permit: Lets you work for most Canadian employers without needing a specific job offer. This includes options for post-graduation students, eligible spouses, or youth mobility programs. [1, 2]
Key Costs & Requirements
- Standard Processing Fee: CAD $155
- Open Work Permit Holder Fee: An extra CAD $100 (CAD $255 total)
- Biometrics Fee: CAD $85 per person
- General Documents: Valid passport, proof of qualifications, and proof that you have enough funds to support yourself (and your family) and leave Canada when the permit expires. [1, 2, 3]
If you'd like, let me know:
- Where you are applying from (inside or outside Canada)
- What type of work or job offer you have
- Whether you need help with open vs. employer-specific eligibility
