Work Permit

The demand for both categories of workers in Canada – temporary and permanent – is ever-increasing, across various business and industrial sectors. Both categories require valid authorization.  The administrative body Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) has a scheme permitting all foreign employees to remain involved in a registered occupation in the country for a stipulated period of time.  It is important to note that a work permit is not equivalent to an immigration paper. A work permit doesn’t let the worker to stay in Canada permanently. If you aim to reside in Canada permanently, it is crucial to qualify as a skilled worker under the regulations of Immigration Department of the country. Your documents would be most likely processed under the Skilled Worker Programme.
