Choose the route first

Separate the work-permit question before gathering documents

Employer-specific permits and eligible open work permits have different starting points. Kanan can help you organise and review a route; Canadian immigration officers make the final decision.

Employer-specific work permit

Does a genuine Canadian employer offer and the correct authorization support this route?

A job offer alone does not answer every work-permit question. Check the employer information, the applicant's role and qualifications, and whether an LMIA or a valid exemption is required before collecting a file.

LMIA-exempt employer-specific permit

Is there a real exemption category that fits the work and the employer?

An exemption is not a marketing label. The employer, work and applicant must fit the current category and its instructions. Confirm that basis with the official source before treating it as a route.

Eligible open work permit

Does your status create eligibility to work for an eligible employer without a named job offer?

Open work permits are available only in particular circumstances. Do not assume that study plans, a spouse in Canada, a past employer or a job search creates open-permit eligibility.

Responsible counselling

Advice cannot create a job, LMIA or work authorization

What a useful review checks

It compares the selected route with the job, employer information, applicant history and current official instructions. It also identifies records that need clarification before an application is prepared.

What responsible counselling does not do

Kanan does not sell jobs or LMIAs, invent an employer relationship, hide prior refusals or guarantee a work permit. If the route or evidence is not supportable, that should be clear before you apply.

How Kanan can help

Prepare a work-permit file around your actual route

A useful counselling session clarifies what needs to be checked next. It does not replace employer compliance, official eligibility rules or the officer's decision.

  • Compare the proposed work, employer details and applicant history with the work-permit question that comes first.
  • Identify the records to request from the applicant and employer before relying on a generic document list.
  • Review forms, work history, job-offer information and supporting evidence for gaps or contradictions.
  • Read a previous refusal with the earlier application before deciding whether reapplying is supportable.
  • Confirm the final route and submission instructions against the current Government of Canada source.

Evidence planning

Build the work-permit file around the selected route

There is no universal work-permit checklist. Start with the records that support the real work and the legal route, then confirm final requirements with the current government instructions.

Applicant and role fit

  • Passport, identity and any current or prior Canadian immigration records.
  • Education, training, licences and work history that accurately support the proposed occupation.
  • A coherent work history and explanation where the proposed role, prior applications or circumstances need context.

Employer and authorization records

  • Job-offer details that match the actual employer, position, location, conditions and timing.
  • The relevant LMIA, employer-offer number or official exemption records where the route requires them.
  • Documents that stay consistent with the employer's current information and official instructions.

Application history and supporting facts

  • Earlier applications, refusals, biometrics requests or correspondence, where applicable.
  • Family, study or status records only when they are genuinely relevant to the selected permit route.
  • A final check against current IRCC and employer-program instructions before submission.

After a refusal

Review a work-permit refusal before reapplying

Submitting the same application with a new cover letter may not resolve why it was refused. Start with the decision and assess whether the work-permit route, facts and evidence can genuinely change.

  1. 01Read the refusal letter and identify the decision-maker's stated concern before deciding to reapply.
  2. 02Reconstruct the earlier file, including the offer, employer material, forms, work history and supporting documents submitted.
  3. 03Check whether the route and available evidence can materially address the issue. A rewritten letter cannot replace missing eligibility or unsupported facts.
  4. 04Reapply only when the record can truthfully support the route, or consider whether a different permitted next step is more appropriate.

Review process

What happens in a work-permit route review

  1. 01

    Start with the work and status

    Review the role, employer, applicant background, current location and any Canadian status or prior applications.

  2. 02

    Separate the permit route

    Identify whether the initial question is an employer-specific permit, a possible exemption or an eligible open permit.

  3. 03

    Build a route-specific checklist

    Organise applicant, employer and authorization evidence around the actual route rather than a generic work-visa list.

  4. 04

    Review before submitting

    Check the facts, forms and evidence for consistency, then use current official instructions for the final application steps.

FAQ

Common questions.
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. Confirm the route against current Government of Canada instructions.

No. Some employer-specific permits use an LMIA, while others may be LMIA-exempt under a defined program or exemption. The employer, work and applicant must fit the current rules; an exemption should not be assumed from a job title or a sales claim.

No. Kanan does not sell jobs or LMIAs and cannot guarantee a work permit. Our role is counselling, document preparation and file review. Canadian immigration officers make the final decision on an application.

Bring your passport, education and work history, details of the proposed Canadian role and employer, any available offer or authorization records, and earlier applications or refusal letters where relevant. The exact list depends on the route that fits your facts.

Possibly, but start 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. A different letter alone may not resolve missing eligibility or unsupported information.
