A:
Canada Work Permit is a temporary resident visa issued by the Canadian government ( Citizenship and Immigration Canada) that grants permission to foreign workers such as US Citizen or may be you to legally work in Canada for a temporary period of time. Possibly, if you work in Canada for two years under a valid Work Permit you may eligible for Permanent Resident status under the Canadian Experience Class depending on your job classification and your language proficiency. There is two step procedure involved in obtaining a Canada Work Visa; 1. Getting a A Labour Market Opinion (LMO) letter from Service Canada (formally HRSDC). 2. Application for Canadian Work Visa Obtaining an LMO is required before you apply for Canadian Work Visa. The procedure involved in obtaining LMO is that the prospective Canadian employer applies for approval of the job offer to the foreign worker. Service Canada will issue the LMO approval or confirmation IF they are satisfied that there are no Canadian citizens or Canadian permanent residents who are qualified for and willing to fill the position offered by a foreign worker OR that the foreign worker will train Canadians during his or her employment in Canada. Typically, the prospective employer must demonstrate to Service Canada that it has made efforts to recruit a Canadian citizen or Canadian permanent resident for the position but had not been successful in finding a suitable Canadian candidate. The Canadian employer will often be required to advertise for the position offered to the foreign worker. If Service Canada is satisfied that the prospective employer has made best efforts to hire a local worker, they will "Confirm" the offer of employment to the foreign worker and issue and LMO letter. Once the LMO has been issued by Service Canada, the foreign worker will be invited to apply for a Canadian Work Visa or Canadian Work Permit at a Canadian Consulate, Embassy or High Commission outside of Canada. In some cases, the foreign worker will be required to attend at an interview with a visa officer. If the visa officer is satisfied that the foreign worker's employment will not adversely effect employment in Canada for Canadians, and that the foreign worker qualifies for the position, then a Canada Work Permit will be issued.
