Employer-specific work permits — LMIA-based or LMIA-exempt (CUSMA, intra-company transfers, GTS).
Explore the specific pathways within Work in Canada — we'll match you to the strongest one based on your profile.
Closed work permits authorize you to work for one specific employer in one role. They may be LMIA-based or LMIA-exempt under international agreements (CUSMA, CETA, CPTPP), intra-company transfers, the Global Talent Stream, or significant-benefit cases.
We identify the lowest-friction route — LMIA-exempt options are typically faster and cheaper for the employer.
