A Canadian work permit
offers you an ideal opportunity to live & work in Canada for up to a
specified period of time. If you’re one of the aspirants looking to
apply for a work permit in Canada, there are a couple of things that you
must know before proceeding further with the application process. For
instance, there are different types of work permits, which mean you can
choose one that suits your skills and future plans.
Work Permit Exemptions
Some
jobs do not require a work permit. Individuals that fall under theses
category can work for a period of time provided that they legally enter
the country. Some of the jobs that do not require work permits are as
follows:
- Athletes & Coaches
- Clergy Members
- Expert Witnesses
- Aviation Investigators
- Health Care Students
Labour Market Impact Assessment
Most people, however, are required to apply for a work permit before they can legally work & earn in Canada.
To
obtain the permit, you should already have an employer in Canada. This
employer will likely need to have a Labor Market Impact Assessment
approved (LMIA) to sponsor you for the work permit. LMIA is a document
stating that the employer has the permission for hiring a foreign
employee. To obtain an LMIA, the employer needs to demonstrate to the
government of Canada that there is not a Canadian or Permanent Resident
available for the job vacancy. The employer in most cases is required to
nationally advertise the job vacancy before applying for the LMIA.Student Work Permit
Foreign
students studying in Canadian Schools/Colleges/Universities can also
apply for student work permits. They do not require a work permit for
working on campus. However, to be eligible for an off-campus work
permit, they need to be enrolled in full-time studies, and should have
completed a minimum of 6 months of their studies. An off-campus work
permit is a part-time work permit, which allows students to work for up
to twenty hours a week while studying. On completion of their program of
study, they can apply for a Post-Graduate Work Permit (PGWP), which
will enable them to work full-time in any job. Spousal Work Permit
Spouses
or common-law partners of students/workers in Canada can apply for an
open work permit to work in Canada for the same duration as the study
permit or work permit of their spouse/partner.
The article
provides just a brief review of some of the main categories of Canadian
work permits. For detailed information about working in Canada, talk to

The Government of Canada has created a Spousal Sponsorship
Program, which is a section of the Family Class Sponsorship Program that
allows permanent residents and citizens of Canada to sponsor their
spouse/common-law partner for Canadian PR (Permanent Residency). Both
the sponsor & the sponsored partner must obtain approval from
Immigration Refuges and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) formally Citizenship
and Immigration Canada (CIC) to ensure that the latter receives Canadian
Permanent Residency.
There are 2 types of Canadian Spousal
Sponsorship: Inland and Outland. If you or your spouse wants to
immigrate to Canada, you may find it difficult to determine which of
these options is the right option to choose. This is because there are
several terms & clauses that you may not easily understand. This
article attempts to explain the Canadian spouse immigration option &
make the process easier for you.
Outland Sponsorship:
Outland
sponsorship is applicable when a permanent resident or citizen of
Canada decides to sponsor his or her spouse living in some other
country. Even if a Canadian citizen or permanent resident lives in
Canada with their foreign national spouse, they can submit an outland
sponsorship application.
The application is processed through the
visa office, which serves the applicant’s country of origin, or where
they’ve legally lived for at least 1 year.Due to Canadian government’s
support for reuniting families, in the past the outland application was
usually processed through the visa office faster than inland
sponsorship. However due to recent changes by the Canadian government
the outland and inland sponsorship now has the same processing time.
The
outland sponsorship also allows for appeal rights, which means in case
the sponsorship application is refused, you have the right of appeal to
Immigration & Refugee Board of Canada.
Inland Sponsorship:
Couples
who are already living in Canada can choose from Inland or Outland
sponsorship application. While applying for inland sponsorship, you can
even apply for an open work permit; however, it comes with some
limitations. For example, you cannot work until you receive the open
work permit.
Inland Sponsorship may seem inflexible as the
immigrant applicant is expected to remain in Canada during their
application process. If the applicant leaves Canada, their application
may be refused. In the event the applicant’s application is refused, the
applicant does not have the right of appeal. However the applicant has
the right to submit a judicial review, which is similar to an appeal.

Canada process you should choose, contact Crightney Immigration Inc.

Spousal immigration is a vital aspect of Canadian immigration
as a large number of people apply for a visa under this category every
year. If your spouse is a Canadian citizen/permanent resident of Canada,
they can sponsor you to immigrate to Canada.
The Spousal Sponsorship program is particularly very useful for those
who cannot qualify under Canadian Experience Class or Federal Skilled
Worker. Unlike under skilled worker programs, the applicant is not
required to meet the strict policies under Spousal Sponsorship program.
However, the sponsor should meet the required eligibility requirements
to sponsor their spouse.
The Canadian citizen/permanent
resident (also known as the ‘sponsor’) and the foreign national
(‘sponsored person’) need to be approved by the IRCC (Immigration,
Refugees & Citizenship Canada) so that the sponsored person receives
a visa.
In order to get spouse sponsorship to Canada through this
immigration program, the sponsor & the sponsored person need to
prove that their relationship qualifies under any of the three
categories given below:
- Spouse
- Conjugal Partner
- Common-law Partner
NOTE:
Canada recognizes same-sex marriage; therefore same-sex partners are
eligible to apply under the above mentioned categories, provided that
they meet the eligibility criteria.
If you are facing problems in
sponsoring your spouse to Canada, Crightney Immigration Inc. is the best
immigration consultants and immigration lawyers affiliate company to
contact in Canada. Our well-experienced and knowledgeable immigration
experts prepare your application in the best possible light to reduce
the application preparation times & reduce your chances of
rejection. We spare no effort to get your application approved as
painlessly and quickly as possible. With us, you can expect A-grade
