Turn Your U.S. Experience into a Canadian Opportunity—Through a Work Permit

If you're currently on OPT, hold an H-1B, or have accumulated skilled work experience in the U.S., a Canadian Work Permit can serve as a strategic entry point into the Canadian immigration system—offering both professional growth and a clear path to permanent residency.

​

Work Permit Options for U.S. Visa Holders

• LMIA-Based Work Permit
  Secure a job offer from a Canadian employer supported by a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA). This employer-specific permit lays the foundation for PR eligibility through streams such as Express Entry and the Canadian Experience Class (CEC).

• Open Work Permit
  Available under select conditions, this permit grants the flexibility to work for any Canadian employer. It allows for broader career exploration while building Canadian work experience for future immigration applications.

• Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP)
  If you're considering studying in Canada after a U.S. degree, a PGWP lets you work for up to three years following graduation—providing valuable time to qualify for PR.

​

Why Apply for a Work Permit in Canada?

• Strategic Leverage of U.S. Experience
  Your education and employment history in the U.S. can position you competitively in Canada’s labor market. A Canadian Work Permit enables you to build directly on that foundation.

• Clearer Pathway to PR
  Canadian work experience gained under a valid permit enhances your eligibility under Express Entry, CEC, or Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs).

• Professional Flexibility with Immigration Alignment
  Whether targeting specific employers via LMIA or exploring broader options with an open permit, Canada offers pathways that align both with your professional goals and immigration trajectory.
