Canada Work Visa
Work Permit Guidance by Shafaq International — Visa decisions are made solely by the Embassy

Canada offers several pathways to work legally including the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) and the International Mobility Program (IMP). A Canadian work permit allows foreign nationals to work for a specific employer or in an open work permit capacity. It is also a common stepping stone to Canadian PR.
