Work Permits

Canada offers a wide range of opportunities for skilled professionals, temporary workers, and international talent. At DigiPath Immigration, we help you navigate the Work Permit process with clarity, accuracy, and expert guidance. Whether you want to work temporarily, gain Canadian experience, or transition toward permanent residency, our team makes the process smooth and stress-free. A Canadian work permit allows foreign nationals to legally work in Canada for a specific employer or occupation. Each program has its own rules, requirements, and timelines—our role is to help you select the right pathway, prepare a strong application, and meet all legal and documentation requirements. We support you through every step: job offer guidance, LMIA assistance, application preparation, extensions, employer compliance, and pathways to PR.

Employer-Specific Work Permit : An employer-specific work permit ties you to a particular employer, meaning you can work only for the company listed on your permit. We assist by preparing LMIA-based work permit applications, reviewing job offers to ensure they meet all compliance requirements, and gathering the necessary employer documents. Our team also prepares complete application packages and supports you with renewals and extensions to maintain your legal work status in Canada.

Open Work Permit : An open work permit gives you the freedom to work for almost any employer in Canada. We assist applicants applying under Spousal Open Work Permits (SOWP), Post-Graduation Work Permits (PGWP), the International Mobility Program (IMP), and Bridging Open Work Permits (BOWP). Our services include full application preparation, document review and submission, eligibility assessment, and assistance with extensions or restoration of status if required.

LMIA Support (Labour Market Impact Assessment) : A Labour Market Impact Assessment is often required for employer-specific work permits. We help both workers and employers by preparing LMIA applications, offering guidance on mandatory advertising and recruitment procedures, and ensuring compliance with all regulations. Once the LMIA is approved, we also support the submission of LMIA-based work permit applications to help streamline the process.

Work Permits Under International Agreements : Canada has several international agreements that allow eligible foreign workers to obtain work permits without the need for an LMIA. We assist applicants applying under agreements such as CUSMA, CETA, and GATS by assessing eligibility, preparing all required documentation, and ensuring compliance with agreement-specific rules to avoid delays or refusals.

Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) : For students who have completed an eligible program in Canada, we offer full support with Post-Graduation Work Permit applications. This includes assessing eligibility, submitting a complete application, and providing guidance on extensions if applicable. We also help plan pathways from a PGWP to permanent residency to support your long-term goals in Canada.

Spousal Open Work Permit (SOWP) : We assist spouses or common-law partners of skilled workers and international students in applying for a Spousal Open Work Permit. Our services include preparing the full application, organizing proof of relationship documents, and ensuring the spouse’s status documents are complete and accurate, helping increase your chances of approval.

Intra-Company Transfer (ICT) Work Permit : For companies transferring executives, managers, or specialized knowledge employees to their Canadian branch, we provide comprehensive ICT support. We guide you through eligibility requirements, assist with gathering necessary business documentation, and prepare complete applications to facilitate a smooth and compliant transfer process.

Work Permit Extensions & Restoration of Status : If your work permit is nearing expiry or has already expired, we help you maintain your legal status in Canada. Our services include preparing work permit renewal applications, assisting with restoration of status submissions, and guiding you on the steps needed to remain compliant with immigration laws.

Seasonal Agricultural Worker Program (SAWP) & Agricultural Stream : We support both employers and foreign workers under SAWP and the Agricultural Stream by preparing LMIA applications, submitting work permit applications, and ensuring all compliance requirements are met. Our guidance helps ensure a smooth hiring and onboarding process within Canada’s agricultural sector.
