Start by separating the work-permit route

“Canada work visa” can describe several different immigration questions. Choose the route that matches the job offer, your current status and the purpose of the application before collecting documents. Kanan can help you understand the route and next steps; IRCC decides eligibility and applications.

Employer-specific work permit

Is there a genuine job offer with the required employer support?

This route is tied to the employer, job and conditions described in the application. Depending on the situation, the employer may need a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) or an LMIA-exempt offer number. The offer and support documents need to match the actual role and current instructions.

Eligible open work permit

Do you fit a current open-work-permit category?

An open permit is not a general alternative to an employer-specific permit. It is available only to people in particular categories, such as some spouses or partners, graduates or permanent-residence applicants. The exact category and current eligibility matter before documents are prepared.

Study-to-work planning

Is studying first a realistic education decision—not a shortcut?

A Canadian study permit and a later work permit are separate applications. A study plan should make sense for your education, budget and career direction on its own. Future work-permit eligibility can change and should never be represented as guaranteed.

A job offer is not the same as work-permit approval

A job offer can be an important part of an employer-specific application, but it does not replace the immigration requirements. The applicant, employer, position and supporting records all need to fit the selected route. Be cautious of anyone who offers a job, an LMIA or an approval as a product.

What a useful route review checks

The review should compare the proposed job, your work history, qualifications, required licensing and the employer documents with the conditions of the specific work-permit route.

What responsible counselling does not do

Kanan does not sell jobs or LMIAs, create employer documents, hide facts in an application or promise a work permit. A missing prerequisite should be explained plainly before you spend money preparing a file.

Build evidence around the selected route

There is no reliable universal work-permit checklist. Prepare the document groups that apply to your actual situation, then confirm the final list against current IRCC requirements. All documents and explanations must be truthful and consistent.

Your identity and work history

  • A valid passport and the identity or civil-status records relevant to your application.
  • A clear employment timeline with experience letters, role descriptions and records that support the claimed work history.
  • Education, trade, licence or professional-registration documents where the role or province requires them.
  • Previous Canadian or international immigration documents, refusal letters and submitted forms where applicable.

The employer and job offer

  • The genuine job offer and the details needed to identify the employer, position, pay, location and conditions.
  • LMIA evidence or an LMIA-exempt offer number when the selected route requires it.
  • Employer support material that is consistent with the role and the current work-permit instructions.
  • A truthful explanation of how your experience, qualifications and any required licensing relate to the offered work.

Route-specific requirements

  • The documents for the exact open-work-permit category, if one applies, rather than a generic open-permit checklist.
  • Medical examination, biometrics, police certificates or other admissibility evidence when current instructions require them.
  • Family information and proof of the relationship or status that creates eligibility for a spouse or partner route, where relevant.
  • A final check against the current IRCC instructions before submission, because requirements and program measures can change.

Review a refusal before deciding to reapply

Resubmitting the same application with a new letter may not address the reason for refusal. A useful review begins with the earlier decision and checks whether the evidence, route and facts can genuinely change.

  1. 01Read the refusal letter and identify the stated concern without assuming a document was simply overlooked.
  2. 02Reconstruct the earlier application: forms, job offer, employer material, work history, qualifications and every supporting letter.
  3. 03Check whether the route, facts and available evidence can genuinely address the concern under current IRCC instructions.
  4. 04Decide whether to reapply, change the route or wait for a material change. A rewritten cover letter alone may not resolve a missing prerequisite.

How we help

Prepare a work-permit file around your actual route

  • Compare the proposed role, employer and applicant history with the permit category that comes first.
  • Identify what the Ahmedabad review needs from your work history, qualifications, licence and job offer.
  • Review LMIA or exemption records and employer details where the selected route requires them.
  • Use prior refusals and current status to decide what evidence can change the next step.

Documents

Prepare route-specific evidence

  • Passport, identity records and current or previous Canadian immigration documents.
  • Employment timeline, reference letters, job duties and records supporting the claimed work history.
  • Job offer, employer details and LMIA or LMIA-exempt support where the selected route requires them.
  • Education, trade, licence or professional-registration evidence relevant to the proposed role.
  • Earlier applications, refusal letters and correspondence where they affect the next decision.
  • Medical, biometrics, police certificates or other admissibility records when current instructions require them.

Application Process

How to Prepare a Canada Work Permit Application: Step-by-Step Process

Use the route, employer and applicant facts to decide what to prepare before you submit. Requirements can change, so confirm the final instructions against current IRCC guidance.

01

Map your work-permit goal and current status

Clarify your purpose, current Canadian status, proposed role, employer and work history before choosing an application category.

02

Separate employer-specific and open-permit eligibility

Check whether your facts point to an employer-specific, LMIA-exempt or eligible open work permit. Open permits are available only in defined categories.

03

Reconcile the employer and applicant evidence

Request and match the job offer, employer details, LMIA or exemption records, qualifications and work-history evidence required for the selected route.

04

Review forms and any previous refusal

Check the forms and explanations for missing information, contradictions and refusal concerns before deciding whether the facts support a new application.

05

Confirm current IRCC instructions before submission

Verify the current document, biometrics, medical and admissibility instructions, then decide the next supportable step before submitting.

Important

No job sales, LMIA sales or work-permit guarantees

Kanan does not sell jobs or LMIAs, create employer documents, hide facts or guarantee a work permit. Canadian immigration officers make the final decision on an application.

FAQ

Questions before you book.
Clear answers.

Some applicants may be eligible for an open work permit in specific circumstances, but a job search by itself does not create eligibility. Many employer-specific work permits begin with a genuine Canadian job offer and the required employer authorization.

No. Some employer-specific permits use an LMIA, while others may be LMIA-exempt under a defined program or exemption. Confirm the route against current official instructions before relying on an exemption.

No. Kanan does not sell jobs or LMIAs and cannot guarantee a work permit. Its role is counselling, document preparation and file review.

Bring your passport, work history, proposed job or employer details, qualifications and any current Canadian status. Include earlier applications or refusal letters when they affect the route question.

Possibly, but begin with the refusal letter and the earlier file. Reapplying is most useful only when the route, facts or evidence can materially address the concern truthfully.
