  • PNP (Provincial Nominee Program) 6–12 months

Canada Open Work Permit vs. Closed Work Permit

If you're looking to work in Canada while your PR is being processed or before you receive it, it’s crucial to understand the difference between Open & Closed Work Permits:


Open Work Permit

  • Allows you to work for any employer in Canada.

  • No need for a job offer or Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA).

  • Ideal for spouses of PR applicants or international graduates under PGWP.


Closed Work Permit

  • Tied to a specific employer and job.

  • Requires an approved LMIA.

  • Changing employers requires a new permit application.
