To qualify for a work permit, you first need to find an employer who is willing to give you a job offer and that employer must then get an approved LMIA. Because the LMIA process is very long and expensive without guarantee of approval, it is generally extremely difficult to find employers who are willing to go through the process.

Coming to Canada on a visitor visa will not make it easier to get a work permit.

Just to add, if an employer gets a LMIA then you have to apply for a closed work permit. This takes many more months. So coming on a visitor visa doesn’t allow you to work or convert your permit to a work one.

Good Morning All,

Please I would be glad if someone with similar experience can help me out

1. I have a job offer in Canada
2. My Employer has processed and received a positive LMIA
3. I have submitted my Work permit application.

Now the question I have are as follows:

a. Can I apply for an open work permit for my spouse and study permits for my kids (2) right now (Seeing as I don't know the status of my application yet)
OR Do I wait till get a positive response to my Work Permit Application?

b. Do I simply apply for a Tourist visa for them after i have gotten positive feedback on my Work Permit Application?

c. I'd really want to arrive in Canada with them.

Please anyone should please assist.

Look at Express Entry - FSW rather than trying to find a job since you have a Masters. You need to do an education assessment for your Masters and take IELTS for language.

Hello good day to everyone, I need information on the TRV, I have a ICT work permit, can I apply for a spousal work permit for my wife ? Will she be able to work in Canada once the application is submitted ?
- What is an approximate time for spousal work permit to be processed, shall I apply from India or from Canada ?

Yes, she can apply for a work permit. If approved, she can work in Canada. She can't work until it is approved. Processing is probably over 30 weeks. Google - check processing times Canada - to check times. Does she have a visitor visa because you are asking about TRV?

Thanks for the information. Yes she has the visitor visa which was applied from my company when ICT was raised for me, 30 weeks is a long time. What all options do I have so that she can also work

Apply when she comes to Canada. Wait for approval. It will take a few months.

Thanks. The issue here is, whether she leaves her company and apply for work permit in Canada, or can take a Leave without pay for a month or two so that if things don't work out at least job would be there back in India.

That is up to the two of you to decide.

hi

you must apply for a closed work permit. This will take a long time. As a result, coming on a visiting visa prevents you from working or converting your permission to a work permit.
