Work and Study Permits
Work and Study Permits are crucial documents that allow individuals to pursue employment or educational opportunities in Canada. Here's a detailed description of these permit types for our clients:
Work Permit:
Purpose: A Work Permit is issued to individuals who wish to come to Canada temporarily to work. It allows them to gain valuable work experience, support themselves financially, or join specific Canadian job opportunities.
Eligibility: To qualify for a Work Permit, clients must typically have a valid job offer from a Canadian employer. The employer may need to obtain a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) in some cases, demonstrating that no Canadian worker is available for the position. Some jobs may be exempt from the LMIA requirement.
Duration: The duration of a Work Permit can vary depending on the job offer and specific circumstances. It can range from a few months to several years. Clients must adhere to the permit's conditions and renew it if needed.
Application Process: Clients will need to submit the job offer, proof of qualifications, and evidence of financial support. They may also need to undergo a medical examination and provide a clean criminal record check. The application process can be complex and varies based on the type of work permit.
Study Permit:
Purpose: A Study Permit allows individuals to come to Canada to pursue academic or vocational studies at a designated educational institution. It provides access to world-class education and the opportunity to expand one's knowledge and skills.
Eligibility: To obtain a Study Permit, clients must first secure admission to a Canadian educational institution. They also need to demonstrate that they have sufficient funds to cover tuition fees, living expenses, and return transportation.
Duration: Study Permits are typically valid for the duration of the program of study, plus an additional 90 days. Clients must ensure they maintain full-time student status during their stay in Canada.
Application Process: Clients will need to provide the proof of admission, financial documentation, and a clean criminal record. They may also need to undergo a medical examination if required.
