The process for getting a Canadian work permit varies based on the type of work permit the person is applying for. For instance, an international student studying in Canada will be offered with part-time work along with their study-permit authorization.

Candidates who apply through LMIA-exempt or are exempt from requiring a work permit should know the documentation required to ensure their entry to Canada.
