2. Open Work Permit

   • An Open Work Permit allows you to work for any employer in Canada without the need for an LMIA. This permit is often available to spouses or common-law partners of international students or skilled workers in Canada, as well as those with temporary resident status. Find out who qualifies and how to apply.

3. Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP)

   • If you have completed your studies at a Canadian educational institution, the PGWP allows you to gain valuable work experience in Canada. Explore the benefits of the PGWP and how it can contribute to your eligibility for permanent residency through programs like Express Entry.

4. International Mobility Program (IMP)

   • The IMP allows employers to hire foreign workers without needing an LMIA. Learn about the eligibility criteria and various programs under the IMP, including the Global Talent Stream and Intra-Company Transfers.

6. Working Holiday Visa

   • Available to young individuals from certain countries, the Working Holiday Visa allows you to work and travel in Canada for up to two years. Discover how to apply and the benefits of this program for gaining international work experience.
