FAQs: Work Permit Consultants in Kitchener
What is the difference between an open work permit and an employer-specific permit?▼
An open work permit lets you work for any eligible employer in Canada without a job offer (e.g., PGWP, spousal OWP). An employer-specific (closed) work permit ties you to one employer and typically requires a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA). Some closed permits are LMIA-exempt — for example, intra-company transfers (where a multinational moves one of its own employees from a foreign office to a Canadian office) and positions covered by trade agreements such as CUSMA.
How long does a Canadian work permit take to process?▼
Processing times vary significantly by permit type, country of origin, and IRCC workload. Check the IRCC processing times tool at ircc.canada.ca for current estimates before applying. A consultant can help you choose the fastest pathway for your situation.
Can I extend my work permit from inside Canada?▼
Yes. If you apply before your current permit expires, you are covered by implied status and can continue working for the same employer while your renewal is pending. A consultant helps ensure your application is filed correctly and on time to maintain your status.
Do I need an LMIA to get a work permit?▼
Not always. Many work permits are LMIA-exempt under international trade agreements, intra-company transfer provisions, or significant benefit categories. A consultant in Kitchener can advise on the most appropriate and efficient pathway for your specific situation.
