A foreign individual who intends to work in Canada is required to possess requisite authorization – such as a work permit- to legally do so.

​

There are numerous categories under which a foreign worker can seek a work permit in Canada including if there is evidence of a significant benefit to Canada such as intra-company transfers, spousal programs, or circumstances in which there is a social, cultural, or economic benefit to Canada.

 

An additional category is a Human Resources and Skills Development Canada-confirmed offer of employment.
