Canada Work Visa Sponsorship

[ryog]

Hi,

I am currently in US on H1B. I would like to know if a Company ( my company) can sponsor me a Canada Work Visa even if they do not have office in Canada. My Client has a office in Canada and is willing to provide all the required documents.

Thanks,
Yog

No your US company can not sponsor your Canadian WP. If your client wants to hire you directly they can attempt to get an LMIA and sponsor your WP but that would mean working under a closed WP in Canada and not using your H1B. You could also try and apply for PR and then you’d be able to work in Canada.

Thanks @canuck78.

What if my Company gets into a Contract with Employer of Record which can operate from Canada? This will help?

 

[Mauz Sattar]

Yes why not

You can give the visa contract if you can do it that would be great for me

What is a ”visa contract”? Get a job, get job offer, ask employer to file for LMIA proving no Canadian or PR can do the job…only you. Then with LMIA apply for closed work permit showing your job experience, education and language skills.

How can work contact with LMIA

Told you do a job search, get job offer and ask employer to pay for and file for a LMIA.

What? Told you. You need to do a job search and get job offer. Then employer files for LMIA.

You would need to be hired directly by the employer of record. That employer would need to apply for an LMIA and if they get one you can apply for a WP with no guarantee of approval.
