Apply for a Canadian work permit online

canada_flagCitizenship and Immigration Canada recently launched an online service for work permit applications.

Before you can work in Canada, newcomers must have either a valid Canadian work permit or Canadian permanent resident status.

And until recently, applying for a work permit meant filling out pages and pages of paper forms.

No more.

You still must have a confirmed job offer before you can apply for a work permit.

But you can now assess your eligibility for a work permit and then complete your work permit application online.

Hooray for paperwork reduction…
