Thank you for sharing the detailed video. My employer mentioned in offer letter for 3 years duration but my providence work permit support letter gave me 2 years. So how many years I should mention while applying a work permit?

I have got my endorsement under AIP in Nova Scotia, and applying for work permit extension through employer, could you please tell me what do I select where you selected International mobility program. Thank you!

Thanks for the video. One question, in my case, my common law partner is applying with me also. For his imm5710e form, question 3 do I also check apply for a work permit for a first time or a new employer. Even if his last permit was PGWP

Thank you so much for the detailed explanation! Your video was incredibly helpful. I have a question: Can the application for a spouse open work permit extension be submitted at the same time as the principal applicant's, along with applications for children? Or do we need to wait for the principal applicant's permit to be approved before applying for family members? Thanks again for the great content!

Hello thank you for such videos they are really helpful. Could you please help with closed work permit extension for PNP certificate holders too please

Thank you for the excellent video, Steven. I got nomination certificate from Ontario. To extend my work permit I need to apply for T13 LMIA exemption. Have you been told by an Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada office that you are approved in principle for permanent residence in Canada? This should be YES in my case, correct? Also, in my case all these steps are same except I need to select Provincial Nomination work holder, correct? I will appreciate your response!!

Thank you so much for this helpful video. Could you please answer if i am married and have my pgwp for 2 more years, as my wife with her owp. Should she also apply for a new work permit, if i am getting a close work permit? Thank you again

Hi Stevn do you know where is the validity of LMIA exempt job offer no. Is written?

Hello- what if, my employer is not going to pay for my compliance fee for exempt Lmia- work permit extension. What do you think I should do? Thank you

What if you are a visitor but already have an offer of mployment number from an organisation in canada on the employers portal. How can I proceed to apply for the application.

hello SJP, I applied my work permit application lmia except. I want to know if i can continue working on work permit applied status after my PGWP expires. The submission letter i received haven't mentioned anything regarding this. Can you please answer.

Hi, I have submitted my LMIA exempt application for Work Permit and I live in Canada. I submitted my application on Feb 20 but still waiting. I have got my PNP nomination certificate during this time too and I am going to apply for PR separately, but I need my work permit now. What to do if my work permit is delayed?

Thank you for the clear and detailed explanation. I have one quick question, in the 5710 when they ask for a "national identity document" do they mean a Canadian one? like BC ID or the one from my country? also, at the beginning, would changing from "LMIA exempt application" to "International agreement application" not change anything? cause I see the invitation letter as a requirement too, I'm applying within Canada NOC 42201 charitable work LMIA exempt. Thank you in advance.

@sjpimmigration

No! They mean from your home country, and BC ID is a provincially issued document, not federally (national). It appears one selection requests an invitation letter. This is probably because some international agreements require one. It appears to be a bug in the system and I don't believe the charitable work exemption C51 requires an invitation letter. www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/temporary-residents/foreign-workers/exemption-codes/canadian-interests-charitable-religious-work-r205-exemption-code-c50.html

You may answer yes, and it may then try to send you to the sequence to apply for an open work permit (bridging or similar). This eligibility questionnaire should be taken lightly. If you are trying to get to the closed work permit LMIA exempt work permit application, you don’t want to go down the open work permit route (your document checklist will be incorrect).

Glad it was helpful! And yes, their is conflicting information on their website, in their portals. That's why I do recommend just at least having a review with a professional who does a lot of them, as they understand based on experience. Just keep in mind that to get an open work permit, with spouse on PGWP, because PGWP is not closed, you must show that the PGWP holder is working (paystubs etc).

Thanks for the info! I have a question, when I found a job offer in JobBank with the specification “this employer has an LMIA” or “this employer have applied for LMIA”, means that job offer has already a worker chosen? And there is no option for me to apply? I understand the LMIA is for a particular person right? So looking for employers with LMIA is not a good way for me to look for a job!!! Thanks a lot!

@sjpimmigration

3 ай бұрын

It means employer has applied or has indicated to JobBank they are applying for an LMIA. There is a good chance the employer may have already found a worker, however, there are some LMIAs that can be applied for without the foreign workers names. These are common with low-wage LMIAs with multiple positions ie. 10 housekeepers. They may not have found all the housekeepers yet, but know that their company will need to hire 10, and that's what application they are making. Once the LMIA is approved, the employer can add names to the LMIA after recruiting the workers by calling or emailing Service Canada.

Usually if there are multiple vacancies indicated on the Job Ad, there's a greater chance they don't have all the workers lined up, rather than a job ad for 1 specific role and vacancy in a company.

There are different immigration officers and even "youtubers" but nobody has explained this before. I came across that for common sense!! So if I found a job offer for a company looking just one person and already has the LMIA it is almost sure that position has a "name" on it! Thanks a lot!

Yes you can. The benefit of getting your employer to submit this offer and applying for a closed work permit, would enable you more time and also qualify you for 50 pts if the work is skilled, the closed work permit is approved, and you've been working for that employer for over 1 year.

Hello, thank you very much for the information. I have a question and I'm not sure if you can please help me solve it. In the case of someone applying for a temporary work visa from outside of Canada through an LMAI exception with an NOC 41200. Specifically regarding the question: "Will you be coming to Canada under an active public policy or special measure announced by IRCC?" It is necessary to respond Yes or No. I ask you this because I believe I have seen that this NOC belongs to a program called the International Mobility Program and I would like to clarify that doubt. Thank you very much for your valuable assistance.

@sjpimmigration

3 ай бұрын

As I've shown, this eligibility checker is just to get you to the type of work permit you can apply for (open, closed). If you qualify under a public policy as indicated and select yes, you will get the option to apply for an open work permit. If you also select written job offer, yes, you will get the option for a closed work permit as well. You choose the option that best describes the type of work permit you need to apply for and which stream. The International Mobility Program is how the majority of Canada's work permits are coded (LMIA exemptions, spousal open work permit, PGWP etc). The other program is the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (LMIA required). This video references the LMIA-exemption under the Canada-Colombia Free Trade Agreement, which falls under the IMP.
