Type of work permits. We're going to lecture in this lecture we'll talk about the different type of permit that you can find the Canadian immigration system. There are two types of work permits, open work permits, I employer specific work permits. Open work permit. An open work permit allows you to work for any employer in Canada except for an employer who is listed as enable on the list of employers who have failed to comply with the conditions of a foreign worker temporary program, or employers who regularly offer striptease erotic dance services or erotic massages. These type of employers are allowed in the problem of further reason.
If any of your employer that you get is listed as a fail employer or is listed as empty offers striptease and erotic dance services, then Jim Carrey won't be eligible for the program. In a few words, he won't be authorized to hire foreign workers to Canada, you can only get an open work permit in his specific situations. What is an open work permit or permit is a work permit there is no job at Pacific because it is not a specific, you will need the following when you apply for a work permit. You will need a labor market impact assessment lmia for employment and social development Canada or a proof that employers submitted an offer of employment through the employer portal based employer compliance fee. And in most cases, you will have to pay the open work permit holder fee at the same time that you pay the work permit fee.
So there's two different fee so You need to pay more fee don't apply for an open work permit in order to conduct types of open work permits. There are two types of open work permits. Those are unrestricted and allow for nationals to work in any occupation. And those are restricted to patient or the location. Open work permits maybe issue with conditional restrictions depending on the applicants medical status as regulation on a five B always location restrictions depending on the category being open work permit under the Provincial Nominee class. So this open work permit can be restricted.
You will see in some work permit that you is written by the officer that the applicant cannot work in her services cannot work with children's can work in a school facilities, depending on location or country of origin. Also cannot work providing agriculture jobs. So you will see the kind of nodes in the work permit, depending on the situation in the case that they need to rescue the occupation, or the location. Also, somebody's good at bringing up and work permit on the provisional Munich class. Do we have a restriction of the play that into work? For example, if you are in a Provincial Nominee Program in Saskatchewan, when evasion a bringing up and work permit, you won't be able to work in let's say, Quebec, or let's say, British Columbia.
You'll be restricted to the location when that bridging open work permit is attached to the Provincial Nominee Program, or the province. So it's just an idea of the restriction that you might find in some open work permits. Who can be shown up among permit. Applicants in the following categories are eligible people that are in the Canada world use program participants. In the international experience Canada Working Holiday exchange program participants, family members are foreign representative and of military personnel who are lmia exempt and professional athletes authorized to enter Canada on the basis of Section 620. So, this type of people are allowed to apply for an open work permit.
The spouses of skilled workers labor on the progress are to find accession code, see 41 spouses of foreign students labor on the paragraph or 205 c Section C 42. Qualifying foreign nationals currently Other who apply for PR on economic progress and are eligible for bringing up a work permit. Again, these are the type of situation where the applicants can actually apply for open work permit and you will qualify. Now when it comes to employer specific work permits, we'll find that an employer specific work permit allows you to work accordingly to the conditions or your work permit, which include the name of the employer, you can work for, how long you can work and the location where you can work if applicable. What are the steps to getting a work permit. Step one, the employer muscle the cases need to apply for a labor market impact assessment if necessary.
We will learn about the lmia in a later lecture. Step two The employer needs to extend a temporary job offer to the applicant, in this case the foreign worker. Step three, the foreign worker applied for work permit. Remember, in this to go to the stage, the employee, we assume the employer sorry, issue a positive or neutral lmia and already have a standard temporary job offer that the foreign worker have accepted in your Linford and then two documents, you go apply for a work permit. And finally, the work permit is issued by the visa office nicer the country of the applicant. Now, what are the main documents needed to apply for a work permit to apply for work permit a worker or foreign worker in this case needs to have a job offer letter a contract a copy of the lmia And the lmia number is important people get confused.
A job offer letter is not the same as the contract the contract will have more information about the nature of the job, the benefit the conditions on the job offer is more general about the benefits and the salary and the duties you only a copy of the lmia that was sent to the employer. And also you're on the internet, my number that is in that document. It doesn't apply for your work permit. So all all of these are the main documents needed to apply for a work permit. Of course, they're also all the documents that they would need like the immigration form, so you need to fill out and also the checklist of the documents that the application my name, in some cases an interview my applying to cases not depend on the immigration officer and the visa office, but you need to have all the documentation with you proving everything in front of the immigration officer.
Now we're gonna take a look The Government of Canada website when it comes to determining your type of work permits, here we are in the Government of Canada website in the page of the IRC see about type of work permits or you can say Here we can see the pages with information. We talk about the open work permits and the employee specific work permits. So, basically that definition we already covered that and then we have a very interesting tool here. Very similar to the previous one. When you ask the questions and based on the question, he will tell us, he which type of work permit Do we need so for example, I will say that I am an entrepreneur. If I click intrapreneur here and I click Submit you will send me Information about the enterpreneur and what type of or permit level for you can read information just the definition Tell me about the fee that I need to pay a offer they can offer employment.
Talk about the NOC all instructions and then finally a link down da Tell me what apply for a work permit. So this is basically what the tools does. If I change this election, let's go back again. And I said no, no, I'm actually a maintenance worker. What type of work permit do I need? Again, give me the information, employer specific work permit.
Again, you really help you out with determine what type they give you the link so you can check the requirements of that type of work permit give you the general requirements to ask you about the employee employer compliance fee that need to be paid. And that offer of employment not to be automated so it's a good tool. Use the headache who can keep calm keep on coming back and trying everything if I'm an actor. Why should I do again employer specific work permit it tell me the job related to dance, opera orchestra music all night theater, more detailed information and of course, then the unit requirements and the payment, the fee payment and an offer of employment number. So, you can see this tool is basically available on the website of the Government of Canada. For here, this is the hang of a lecture.
