Canadian work visa: open work visa and closed work visa.

Canada's work visa world is like a colorful mosaic, each with its own unique color and shape. This paper will introduce two kinds of work visas in Canada: open work visa and closed work visa.

Graduation work visa is a visa without employer and LMIA. Depending on the duration of your study project, you will get a work permit of 1-3 years. Graduates with 2 years or above will get a 3-year work permit!

Coop internship visa

Coop internship visa is usually the same as your study permit. During my study, I can work 20 hours a week. Internship is part of your study, so you can work full-time for the employer designated by the school.

Spouse/cohabitation work visa

Whether you are a student visa spouse or a work visa spouse, the length of your work visa usually matches the length of your study visa or work visa. The work visa period for spouses of reunited immigrants is usually 2 years.

Close the work sign

A closed work permit requires you to work for a designated employer and hold a designated position in Canada. In most cases, you can apply for this kind of work visa before your employer handles LMIA. Its term is usually 1 year, but if you need it, the employer can help you renew it.
