For Workers

Work in Canada

Considering working in Canada opens up a realm of opportunities, but navigating the immigration process is paramount to realizing your career aspirations. At Velletta Pedersen Christie, we assist individuals like you in finding and obtaining the appropriate Work Permit tailored to your specific needs.

Exploring Work Permit Categories

Understanding the intricacies of various Work Permit categories is essential for a successful immigration journey. We guide you through:

1. Open Work Permits: Offering flexibility and freedom, open work permits allow you to work for any Canadian employer without the need for a specific job offer.
2. LMIA-Based Work Permits: Based on a positive Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA), these permits are tailored to specific job offers from Canadian employers.
3. LMIA-Exempt Categories: Canada offers over 100 LMIA-exempt categories, each with its own eligibility requirements, providing diverse avenues for employment.

With a multitude of options available, our team ensures you find the perfect fit for your unique situation, providing personalized guidance and support every step of the way.

Applying for Permanent Residence

Are you considering a long-term commitment to Canada? Exploring options for permanent residence as a skilled worker opens doors to programs like:

1. Express Entry: A streamlined pathway to permanent residence for skilled workers, managed through an online system.
2. BC Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP): This program allows skilled workers to obtain nomination from the province of British Columbia, facilitating the permanent residence application process.

If you’re already working in Canada as a skilled worker, we collaborate with your Canadian employer to streamline the permanent residence application process, ensuring a smooth transition towards your long-term goals.

Immigration Options for Semi-Skilled Workers

While options for semi-skilled workers may seem limited, the Entry Level and Semi-Skilled category of the BC Provincial Nominee Program may offer a viable pathway to permanent residence.
