Success: 2YR Open Work Permit

There are many different types of Work Permits. Ideally, we want to guide our clients to obtain an LMIA-exempt, Open Work Permit. This is the gold standard and it provides for maximum freedom for our clients. These Work Permits are not always available, depending on the situation of the individual. Every case is different. Many students, for example, are able to obtain a PGWP which is a type of Open Work Permit.

In this case, our client did not study in Canada. He got a job offer based on his skills and he qualified for a special program. Based on the current Labour Market shortages, there are particular positions that are in high demand. IRCC is actively trying to support businesses in Canada that are struggling to find workers.

Based on the beautiful package submitted to IRCC, our client obtained a 2 YEAR Open Work Permit. He will be able to stay in Canada and work. From our perspective, this is a win-win solution. He will be helping the business in Manitoba and they will benefit from his skills.

Congratulations to our client. We wish him all the best.
