A work permit for Canada is given to an individual who is not a citizen or permanent resident of Canada, yet wishes to work here. It is a mandatory work permit, irrespective of whether the employer lives in Canada or not. The validity is only for specific time duration and for a specified job only. This means that a single work permit is applicable only for the intended work. If you want to switch jobs, you need to apply for a new permit again.
Canada Work Permit Process:
This is a two-fold process. In the first level, a Canadian employer must receive an approval from the Canadian government to hire foreign workers. At the second stage, on being granted permission, the designated employees should apply for receiving a work permit.
Canada Work Permit Requirements:
At the time of applying for the Canada work permit, you need to meet certain requirements in order to get the work permit for Canada. These are:-
Your intention of leaving the country after the lapse of the work permit
Should be self-sufficient enough to support yourself and your family during your stay here
Should not be having a criminal background
Must meet the health requirements

This work permit application requires verification from the Canadian labor market. This is known as the Labor Market Opinion (LMO). On getting a positive LMO, an individual can apply for a work permit. However, there are some categories which do not require this approval like NAFTA and Post-Graduate Work Permits as well as Intra-Company Transfers.
