Canada Work Permit

Employer-specific and open work permits.

Overview

About this visa

Canadian work permits come in two broad forms: employer-specific permits, tied to a particular job and employer, and open work permits, which are not tied to a specific employer.

This includes post-graduation work permits for eligible graduates and spousal open work permits in some cases.

The right option depends on your situation and any labour-market requirements, and we help you identify and apply for it.

Frequently asked questions

What is a good CRS score for Express Entry?

The Comprehensive Ranking System cut-off changes with each draw and by program, so there is no fixed 'good' score. We calculate your CRS, identify ways to improve it - such as language, education or a provincial nomination - and advise on how competitive you are.

Can a provincial nomination help me?

Yes, significantly. A provincial nomination can add a large number of points to an Express Entry profile and can be the deciding factor. We match your profile to the province where you are most likely to be nominated.

How long will my application take?

Processing times vary by visa type and change regularly, and they depend on your documents and personal circumstances. We give you a realistic, up-to-date estimate for your situation and keep you informed while the case is assessed.

Can I include my family?

Many visas let you include a partner and dependent children, either together with your application or by adding them later. We confirm exactly who you can include and prepare their documents alongside yours.

Do I have to visit your office in Jalandhar?

No. We work with clients across India and around the world. Your case can be handled entirely by phone, email and video call if that is easier for you.
