How to apply for a labor visa in Canada? Is it difficult? What formalities do we need?

1. What are the characteristics of a Canadian work visa?

A: Simply put, it means "two long and one short". The two advantages are: Canada has many job opportunities and high wages; Most types of work visas are eligible to apply for family immigration after working for 6- 12 months. One disadvantage is that it takes a long time to approve a work visa in Canada.

2. How long does it take to apply for a work visa?

A: It usually takes 6-8 months. The general process of Canada's work visa is: finding an employer-job advertisement-applying for labor approval-applying for a work visa.

The time to find an employer is uncertain, generally depending on the strength of the intermediary, and some even can't find an employer. Our company is different. Due to the company's business network for many years, our company makes recruitment brochures according to the instructions of the employer. As long as the applicant is declared according to the recruitment brochure, the employer is waiting for the applicant, and the applicant should not wait for the employer for one day.

Canada's labor laws stipulate job advertisements. Only employers can recruit foreign workers for jobs that cannot be advertised in Canada. The advertising period of this advertisement varies from province to province, ranging from 2 weeks to 6 weeks.

Labor approval is the legal document of workers' work and the protection document of the Canadian government for foreign workers. The Canadian government has written the name, salary, welfare, working hours and other information of workers into the labor examination and approval, which has protected the legitimate rights and interests of foreign workers to the maximum extent. The examination and approval time of labor examination and approval varies from province to province, some provinces save one or two months, and some provinces save five or six months.

Work visa is a legal document for workers to enter Canada, and the general approval time is about 3 months.

According to the above process, the time required for the government to finally obtain a labor visa is basically 6- 1 1 month.

5. How long is the Canadian work visa?

A: The duration of a work visa is generally 1-3 years. The work visa for high-tech jobs is generally 1 year, but the renewal procedure is very simple, and workers can renew it without leaving Canada.

The visa for low-skilled jobs cannot be renewed, so the visa period is generally 2 years. After the visa expires, workers must leave the country.

Employers are required to contact the local Canadian Employment Center and register the job vacancies at the Canadian Employment Center for at least 60 days. If there is no suitable Canadian application, the employer can ask the Canadian Employment Center to issue a valid employment permit [[EMP2151]+0] to allow overseas workers to work in Canada. The Canadian Employment Center will send relevant applications and certificates to overseas consulates or visa offices. The office will contact the applicant to apply for a work visa to work in Canada. Overseas workers can apply for permanent resident status to the Immigration Department after working in Canada for two years.

To apply for a Canadian labor visa, a Canadian employer must first apply for a labor quota from the Human Resources Department, which will only grant a labor quota after verifying that the required labor cannot be found in China. Under this premise, overseas workers can apply for a work visa from the Canadian consulate, and after approval, they can go to work in Canada. Applicants can change their original employers and renew their contracts after working in Canada. After working for one year, you can apply for an extension of one year; After working for two years, according to the regulations of the Canadian live-in nanny program, if the workers were able to compete in the local labor market in Canada at that time, the company could be responsible for applying for permanent resident status for the workers.
