Get Effective Legal Advice When Applying For A Work Permit


A work permit is required for any foreign worker to legally work in Canada. This applies to temporary residents, like international students, visitors, spouses of skilled workers or students.

At Border Solutions Law Group, our immigration lawyers have extensive experience with assisting foreign workers applying for work permits. Based in Vancouver, British Columbia, we leverage over 15 years of experience to assist you with getting everything you need to submit a complete application.

Gathering All the Necessary Documentation

Work permits grant qualified and prepared people entry into Canada to work in various sectors that need specific skill sets. In order to qualify, you need to have a number of boxes checked off:

  • Qualifications under the conditions of NAFTA, International Experience Class or obtaining a LMIA assessment
  • Possess the necessary skills and experience
  • Proof you are only coming temporarily
  • A valid offer of employment
  • Clear medical and background checks

Interview preparation: We will provide you with interview preparation so you understand how to explain your work history, and that your responses align with the online documentation Immigration Refugee Citizenship Canada will review.

The Application Process: Complex, But Not Difficult

Many people may not know this, but Canada has a more complex work permit application procedure than the U.S. While the registration process is more onerous than other countries, the applications are completed and assessed online, which helps streamline the process.

What does that mean for you? The legal team at Border Solutions know this process inside and out. Our goal is to make sure you only go through this process once. The online portal can be difficult to navigate. Border Solutions has the expertise to make it less stressful – we know the ins and outs of the system.
