PERMANENT IMMIGRATION OPTIONS
WORK PERMITS
As a business person, you can become a permanent resident of Canada by first obtaining a work permit which is a temporary immigration status. The beauty of this is that a Canadian work permit provides a pathway for foreign nationals to enter the Canadian workforce, contribute to economic growth in the country and become Canadian permanent residents in the process. Usually, most foreign nationals become Canadian citizens 3 years (1,095 days) after they become permanent residents of Canada.
The IRPR extensively details how foreign nationals can become members of the worker class.
Worker Class:
- Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP)
- International Mobility Program (IMP)
- Post-Graduation Work Permit Program (PGWPP)
- Trade Agreements
Obtaining a work permit is generally possible through any of the above programs once the applicant is qualified and can put together a solid case for themselves.
As a business person or senior executive, understanding the options available to you helps you conserve precious time and money. Without proper guidance, foreign nationals tend to take the longer and more expensive route of pursuing a study permit either for themselves or for a family member.
International Mobility Program (IMP)
If you are a business executive, senior management or a person with specialised talent, it is possible to obtain a Canadian work permit without going through the rigours of getting a positive LMIA opinion from Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC).
The Regulations 204 – 208 make provisions for industry executives and skilled tech professionals to obtain a Canadian work permit in an expedited manner. Work permit applications in this category are considered favourably on the justification that the resources have high human capital factors and that their engagement will bring significant benefit to Canada.
Significant benefits may be economic, social or cultural. The benefit will be articulated properly in the Labour Market Benefits Plan submitted to the ESDC Canada on behalf of the employer.
Business owners, senior managers and specialized talent are encouraged to speak with our in-house experts to discover what pathway is ideal for them and their businesses.
From our experience, these interactions expedite the journey to Canadian citizenship.
