Types of Work Permits for H1B Visa Holders

• Employer-Specific Work PermitThis permit is tied to a specific employer in Canada. To obtain it, you need a valid job offer from a Canadian employer who will also need to secure a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) to confirm that there is no suitable Canadian candidate for the role.
• Open Work Permit An open work permit allows you to work for any employer in Canada, providing greater flexibility. While generally more challenging to obtain, it is available under specific circumstances, such as being a spouse of a skilled worker or international student.
