Types of Canadian Work Permits

Canada offers two main types of work permits for foreign workers:

1️⃣ Open Work Permit

An Open Work Permit allows foreign nationals to work for any employer in Canada, without being tied to a specific job or meeting employer-specific requirements.

Who Can Apply for an Open Work Permit?

  • International Students – Eligible graduates from a Designated Learning Institution (DLI) can apply for a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP).
  • Permanent Residence (PR) Applicants – Individuals applying for PR can qualify for an open work permit while waiting for their application decision.
  • Temporary Resident Permit Holders – Those holding a valid Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) may be eligible.
  • Spouses or Common-Law Partners – Spousal Open Work Permits (SOWP) are available to partners of skilled workers or international students in Canada.

🔹 Processing Time: Open Work Permits typically take around 38 weeks to process.

2️⃣ Employer-Specific Work Permit (Closed Work Permit)

A Closed Work Permit is job-specific and allows a foreign worker to be employed only by the designated employer mentioned on the permit.

Requirements for a Closed Work Permit

  • A valid job offer from a Canadian employer.
  • A Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA), proving that no Canadian worker is available for the position.
  • Compliance with all employer-specific terms regarding wages, working conditions, and job role.
