Most people need a work permit to work in Canada. There are 2 types of work permits: open work permits and employer-specific work permits.

An open work permit lets you work for most employers in Canada, except for employers who have failed to comply with labour conditions.

You may be eligible for an open work permit if you:

  • are a dependent family member of someone who applied for permanent residence

  • are the spouse or common-law partner of a skilled worker or international student

  • are the spouse or common-law partner of an applicant of the Atlantic Immigration Pilot Program

In each of these situations, you must meet additional criteria to be eligible.

    Eligibility Confirmation Before Payment

    First you will answer a few questions to ensure you are eligible for the visa. Only if you are eligible will the payment unlock. Making payment assigns an immigration lawyer or regulated consultant to your application. We are transparent in our process and pricing, and clearly list all the fees and processing times for your visa. Read our Transparency Pledge. We use Stripe for credit or debit card payment processing, which is secure and encrypted.
