Open and employer-specific permits are different tools. Compare eligibility, employer involvement, status conditions and the documents needed for your situation.
A broad record across Canadian immigration routes, with attention to the decisions that shape each file.
What we handle
Start with whether the permit is open or employer-specific, because that decides who has to act first. Then confirm the current eligibility rules, the labour market basis for the role, and any conditions attached to the permit.
Employer-specific permits turn on a compliant job offer and a positive labour market decision; open permits turn on the relationship, status or program that creates the exemption. Keep the offer, contract, licence or registration evidence and identity documents together.
Ask how long the permit can run, whether a spouse or children can be included, what happens if the job or employer changes, and how the permit connects to a permanent residence route.
Always confirm the current requirements on the official source before acting. This guide is general information, not advice on your file.
