Work in Canada: Do you Need a Canadian Work Permit?

A work permit enables a foreign national to work in Canada temporarily. Canada offers more than 100 different options to foreign workers.

These options fall under two broad programs: the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) and the International Mobility Program (IMP). 

The difference between the two programs is the TFWP requires a labour market test, known as the Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA).
