Frequently Asked Questions
-
Can I temporarily work in Canada while my PR application is in process?Yes, certain individuals can apply for an Open Work and Standard Work Permit to be employed in Canada for temporary work.
-
What is a Labour Market Impact Assessment, and when do employers need one?An LMIA is an official document that confirms that hiring a foreign national will not have any negative effect on Canada’s labor market. The employers hiring under the Temporary Foreign Work Program must acquire a positive LMIA before a foreign worker applies for a work permit.
-
Is it necessary to get an employment offer while applying for a Canadian work permit?Yes, a valid job offer is essential to acquire a Canadian work permit in most of the cases. However, certain open work permit categories, like post-graduation and spousal open work permits, do not require any employment offer.
-
Can a foreign employee continue to work in Canada while their work permit renewal application is in process?Yes, if an individual has applied to extend their status before the expiry of their current work permit, they are eligible to continue work in the same circumstances. This process of pre-application is known as ‘Maintained Status’.
-
Can a foreign employee switch employers while having an employer-specific work permit?No, a foreign employee holding an employer-specific work permit is bound to work for the particular employer specified on the permit. The employee can change the employer by applying for a new work permit.
-
What are the employer’s responsibilities when hiring a foreign worker under an LMIA-based work permit?The employers must ensure compliance with ESDC requirements, maintain accurate job descriptions, pay the approved wage, keep detailed payroll and employment records, and be prepared for possible employer compliance inspections by IRCC or ESDC.
