Before being granted a temporary working permit by the immigration of Canada, you’ll need to first secure a job offer from a Canadian company, business, government, or employer. You should also be able to prove that the job you’re applying for or have been accepted to, is something that cannot be filled with a Canadian/local employee. This is because Canadian citizens and those who already obtained a permanent resident status are the government’s top priority in terms of filling job opportunities. If you are applying as a skilled worker, then you must prove that you just don’t have the skills but also the experience to assume the job so that your application will have a greater chance of being approved.
Here are the steps on how you can apply for a temporary working permit in Canada:
Secure a job offer/ contract from the Canadian employer you applied to. Ideally, the offer should state the position in which you are accepted, the name of the company/employer, nature of the job, company address, duration of the job/contract, and other important details. A confirmation letter that you were accepted in the company and in a particular position will also do.
Your employer should have obtained the Positive Labor Market Opinion. This is a written confirmation from the Human Resources and Social Development Canada department. Basically, this only means that your potential employer has already posted an advertisement for the position throughout Canada for about 3 months already.
Once you have both documents mentioned above, you can now submit a temporary working permit application to a Canadian Visa Office at www.cic.gc.ca.Make sure to always check this website and stay updated because the requirements are subject to change.
You should also prepare supplemental documents like your birth certificate, IDs, qualification certificates, diplomas, transcripts, police clearance, medical certificates to prove that you’re healthy and able to carry out the job, references from previous employers and other necessary documents that will be required from you.
Get ready for a one – on – one interview. Once the Canadian Visa Office received your application, you will most likely be scheduled for an interview appointment. Aside from your personal background, the interview will be about your previous working experience, the educational levels you have attained, or the skills you have acquired to confirm that you are a certified skilled/professional worker.
Just wait and keep the faith. The duration of your application will vary as it will undergo through a thorough review by the Canadian Visa Office. On average though, it takes about 1 to 3 months before being approved. You’ll also most likely pay for an application fee, keep tab on that as prices can also change without prior notice.
