Step 1: Determine your eligibility for a work permit

• You must have a valid job offer from a Canadian employer
• The employer must have obtained a positive Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) from Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC), or you must be exempt from this requirement

Step 2: Gather your documents

• A copy of your job offer letter from your Canadian employer
• Proof of your qualifications and/or work experience

• Any other documents required for your specific situation

Step 3: Apply for a work permit

• You can apply online or by paper application
• Pay the application fee
• Provide biometric information (fingerprints and photo), if required
• Wait for a decision on your application. Processing times vary depending on the type of work permit and your country of origin.

Step 4: Travel to Canada and obtain your work permit

• If your application is approved, you will receive a letter of introduction from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC)
• Show the letter of introduction and other required documents to the border officer when you arrive in Canada
• The border officer will issue your work permit
