If you are from a foreign country and want a Job in Canada then you need a Canadian work permit. Most of the foreign workers need a Work Permit to work in Canada temporarily. There are mainly two types of work permits:

• Open Work Permit
• Employer or Industry-specific Work Permit

An Employer-specific Work Permit allows you to work in Canada as per conditions on your permit like:

• Time duration of Work Permit.
• Location
• Name of the specific employer.

This type of work is also called a closed-work permit and is subject to a job offer by a Canadian employer supported by a positive Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) that proves that there is no Canadian citizen available to do the job which is being offered to the applicant. This is an eligibility factor to work in Canada. Canadian employers hire temporary foreign workers to fill their specific needs. There are some categories under this work permit to be eligible for an employer-specific work permit

Open Work Permit

Open Work Permit is not job-specific and applicants can work for an eligible employer in Canada. An Open Work Permit not required an offer of employment or a positive Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) from the applicant.
