Worker Visa
How you can Apply for A Worker Visa
To apply for a worker visa for Canada, you will need to follow these steps:
- Check your eligibility:
Not everyone is eligible for a Canadian work visa. You will need to meet the specific eligibility requirements for the type of work permit you are applying for. The Canadian government's website explains the eligibility requirements.
An experienced immigration lawyer can review your qualifications to determine your eligibility for a Canadian work visa, and help you find opportunities to immigrate to Canada. There are many new opportunities for qualified foreigners to immigrate to Canada because Canada is experiencing a severe, ongoing labour shortage. A Canadian immigration lawyer can help direct qualified applicants to their best opportunity for a successful application, and the quickest way to start their life in Canada. - Get a job offer from a Canadian
employer:
In order to get a work visa, you will need to have a job offer from a Canadian employer. The employer must be able to prove that they cannot find a Canadian citizen or permanent resident to fill the position. - Gather the required
documents:
Once you have a job offer, you will need to gather the required documents for your work visa application. These documents will vary depending on the type of work permit you are applying for. However, some common documents include:- A completed application form

application:
You can submit your work visa application online or by mail. The processing time for work visa applications can vary, so it is important to allow plenty of time.
An experienced Canadian immigration lawyer can review your application and documentation to ensure nothing is missed or overlooked, and prevent delays and denials. - Pay the application
fee:
There is a fee for applying for a Canadian work visa. The fee varies depending on your nationality and the type of work permit you are applying for. - Wait for a decision:
Once you have submitted your application, you will need to wait for a decision from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). The decision process can take several weeks or months, depending on what immigration program you are applying for.
