Important Information relating to work permit visa
Work permit is a written authorization to work in Canada issued by an officer to a person who is .not a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident of Canada. It is required whether or not the employer is in Canada. Usually, it is valid for a specific job and length of time. A work permit may be issued based on labour market opinion (HRSDC confirmation) or may be issued on the basis of other requirements.
An HRSDC confirmation is the option provided by Human Resources and Skills Development Canada to the officer which enables him to determine whether the employment of the foreign worker is likely to have a positive or negative impact on the labour market in Canada.
An HRSDC confirmation process is started by the prospective employer who contacts HRSDC to get a job offer form. When the form is completed and submitted, HRSDC considers several factors, including the availability of Canadians and the offered wages as well as the economic benefit the foreign worker would bring. HRSDC then provides advice to the officer. The confirmation from HRSDC is typically given for a specific period of time, and the work permit is issued to coincide with this period.
