Types of Canada Work Permits
Canada has two main types of work permits:
1. Employer-Specific Work Permit
This work permit allows you to work for a specific employer under set conditions. You need:
✅ A valid job offer from a Canadian employer
✅ A Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) (in most cases)
✅ A contract outlining job details, wages, and conditions
2. Open Work Permit
An Open Work Permit lets you work for any employer in Canada, except those who do not meet IRCC guidelines. You don’t need an LMIA for this permit. Some common open work permits include:
✅ Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) – For international students who have completed studies in Canada
✅ Spousal Open Work Permit (SOWP) – For spouses of international students or workers
✅ Bridging Open Work Permit (BOWP) – For PR applicants awaiting their decision

LMIA-Based Work Permit – What You Need to Know
Most employer-specific work permits require a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA), which proves that hiring a foreign worker will not negatively impact the Canadian job market.
✔ Employers must advertise the job locally before hiring a foreign worker
✔ A positive LMIA allows the worker to apply for a work permit
✔ GreenHill Immigration assists both employers and workers in securing LMIA approval
Work in Canada Without an LMIA – LMIA-Exempt Work Permits
Certain workers can get a Canada work permit without an LMIA, including:
🚀 Intra-Company Transferees (for employees transferring within a multinational company)
🚀 International Experience Canada (IEC) (for youth under work & travel programs)
🚀 Workers under trade agreements like CUSMA & CETA
Our immigration experts will help you determine if you qualify for an LMIA-exempt work permit.
