Common Questions About Working in Canada
What is LMIA and why does it matter?
A Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is a document showing the government has approved hiring a foreign worker for a specific role. It is required for most employer-sponsored work permits.
Can I get permanent residence through a job in Canada?
Yes. Canadian work experience through a work permit typically boosts your Express Entry Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score significantly, often enough to receive an Invitation to Apply for PR.
