Canada Working Visa 2026 Complete Guide

A Canada Working Visa (work permit) allows foreign nationals to legally work in Canada. Most work permits require a job offer and a positive Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) from your employer.

Types of Work Visas

  • Employer‑Specific (Closed) Permit : You can only work for one employer, at one location, in one job.
  • Open Work Permit : You can work for any employer. Eligibility is now limited to PGWP graduates, spouses of TEER 0‑3 workers, and IEC participants.

Key Requirements (2026)

  • A valid job offer (for closed permits)
  • LMIA approved by ESDC (valid for only 6 months now)
  • Proof of qualifications (education, work experience)
  • Clean criminal record and medical exam (if required)

Processing Time & Fees

  • Processing: 8–16 weeks (LMIA‑based) / 7 weeks (LMIA‑exempt)
  • Fees: $155 (work permit) + $100 (open permit holder fee) + $85 biometrics

Important 2026 Changes

  • Open work permits being phased out (final deadline Dec 31, 2026)

  • Low‑wage LMIA now limited to 1 year in high‑unemployment regions

  • Spousal open permits only for TEER 0‑3 occupations

  • Always check the IRCC website for real‑time updates before applying.
