Canada has one of the most developed economies in the world with a rapidly growing labor market. To maintain national economic growth, the government attracts skilled foreign workers to fill gaps in the labor market and support local businesses. To legally work in Canada, a foreign national requires a Work Permit.
There are various types of work permits in Canada. Some are employer-specific or industry-specific, while others are open work permits that allow a foreign worker to work for any employer in Canada.
