In order to work in Canada temporarily, it is necessary to obtain a work permit. When applying for a work permit, you will have to show you qualify to work in Canada via one of the following:

• Have a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) from Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) showing that your employer can hire a foreign worker.

• You fall under a bilateral trade agreement such as the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA); Canada has such agreements with Chile, Peru, and Colombia which allow for the exchange of workers and is currently negotiating with other countries.

• Inter-company transferees. For example, if you work for an international company, you can transfer to the Canadian company.

• Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) nomination certificate.

• You are part of a youth-exchange program such as the International Experience Canada (IEC) class, also referred to as the Working Holiday Visa, Young Professional, and International Co-op Programs.

In all of the cases listed here (except for the IEC), you will need an employer prior to applying for a work permit (www.cic.gc.ca/english/work/apply-how.asp). To see if you need a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA), go to CIC’s website (www.cic.gc.ca/english/work/apply-who-permit.asp).
