Canada · Work & Temporary Status
The correct work permit depends on the worker, the employer and the legal basis for the job.
Canada has employer-specific and open work permits. Some require an LMIA, some are exempt, and some are available only because of a person’s family, immigration or application status.
How we approach Canada Work Permits
Most applications are lost long before submission — in the strategy, the timing and the evidence. We start by understanding your situation in full, then decide whether Canada Work Permits is genuinely the strongest route for you, or whether another Canadian pathway fits better.
From there the work is practical: confirming eligibility, building the file, preparing you for what officers will question, and keeping the strategy consistent from first assessment to final decision. You always know where your file stands and what happens next.
Because our team also works in business consulting, entrepreneurs and professionals get advice that considers the commercial and career side of the move, not only the immigration forms.

Family planning
A principal worker’s spouse or partner does not automatically qualify for an open work permit in every case. Eligibility depends on the rules applying to the principal worker and their occupation or immigration pathway.
