In Canada, one can receive two types of job offers – one temporary in nature and other permanent job. A temporary job offer is an offer of Canadian employment that is made for a specific period of time – 6 months, 1 year, etc. Untill and unless one receives a temporary work permit, one cannot start working. A permanent job offer in Canada is made for an indeterminate period of time for which one needs a Canada Immigration Visa.

One can also apply for a temporary work permit in combination with an application for a Canada Immigration Visa. The Citizenship and Immigration department of Canada (CIC) recognizes the concept of “dual intent” whereby, one can work in Canada temporarily and thereafter reside and work in Canada permanently.

To seek work permit in Canada, there are a lot of provisions that a foreigner can look forward to. These provisions fall under certain classifications like International Treaties such as the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), the Canada Chile Free Trade Agreement (CCFTA), or the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) etc.

The applicants who apply for Canada work permit also need to go through medical examinations prior to issuance of visa. This can affect the duration of the application process. Nature of the occupation also plays a major role in getting the work permit.

The benefits of obtaining a permanent Canadian job offer are that one receives the additional benefit of opportunities for successful application under the Skilled Worker/ Professional category and the Provincial Nomination Program (PNP) category. There are various strategies that people adopt to get work permit – select the one that best suits your requirements.
