Employer-Specific work permit
The process of obtaining a work permit in Canada usually starts with getting a job offer from a Canadian employer. In most cases, a job offer must be approved by Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC), a government institution. Terms and conditions of employment must comply with Canadian immigration law criteria, and an employer should be able to demonstrate to Employment and Social Development Canada that he or she made every effort to fill the position but could not find a suitable qualified Canadian or permanent resident for the position.
Once a job offer is approved by Employment and Social Development Canada, a foreign worker can apply for a work permit with Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), and IRCC will determine whether the foreign worker is eligible to come and work in Canada.
