Working Temporarily in Canada The definition of work as per Sec 2 of the IRPA regulations is "an activity for which wages are paid or commission is earned, or that is in direct competition with the activities if Canadian citizens or permanent residents in the Canadian labour market". Most temporary jobs require the applicant to obtain a work permit to Canada. The requirements depend on the occupation of the applicant and the work to be performed in Canada on the work permit. The most important aspect of the work permit is to browse through the National Occupation Classification of Canada, which lists the various occupations and education and employment requirements for each occupation, and to equate the responsibilities and duties of the position sought after with what the applicant is currently performing of has performed in the recent past. The link for the National Occupation classification is http://www23.hrdc-drhc.gc.ca/2001/e/generic/welcome.shtml. In most cases work permits must be applied from outside of Canada. To apply for a work permit, the following documents are required; 1. Application form. 2. Applicant ability to meet the job requirement- past education and work experience documents etc. 3. Positive labour marker opinion [LMO] from HRSDC for the position [if required]. For jobs requiring labour market opinions, it is the employer in Canada who must obtain the same and send it to the applicant. 4. A job offer letter from the employer in Canada stating the requirements of the job [duties and responsibilities of the position], salary offered etc. It is that the employer pays the applicant prevailing wage rates. The updated wage rates are available of the Service Canada website. 5. Applicants who are applying outside their country of nationality must be able to provide proof of immigration. Applicant must browse the website of Immigration Canada and locate the closest Canadian visa office to the applicant. Extension and Change of Work Permits The applicant must file for the extension of a work permit if their work in Canada is extended beyond the period of your previous work permit. This extension application must be filed before the expiry of the previous work permit. If there is a change of employer after the applicant arrives in Canada, a new work permit must be obtained before the applicant works with the new employer. The forms and more details on the same maybe obtained from one of our Guidance Counsellors. In September 2007, CIC [Citizenship and Immigration Canada], introduced E-LMO or Expedited Labour Market Opinion, a Pilot project introduced for the provinces of British Columbia and Alberta, for employers who require qualified workers for full time work. This initiative will fast track the processing of the Labour Market Opinion process by Service Canada. The occupations for the E-LMO were: Crane Operators (Journeyman/Woman) Carpenters (Journeyman/Woman) Pharmacists Dental Technicians Food and Beverage Servers Food Counter Attendants Registered Nurses Retail Salespersons and Sales Clerks Ski and Snowboard Instructors Hotel Front Desk Clerks Hotel and Hospitality Room Attendants Tour and Travel Guides In January 2008, twenty one [21] new occupations were added to the E-LMO Pilot Project. These occupations were; Manufacturing and Processing labourers. Civil Engineers Mechanical Engineers Commercial Janitors and Caretakers Mechanical Engineering Technologists Construction Labourers Petroleum Engineers Delivery Drivers Residential Cleaning and Support Workers Electrical and Electronic Engineers Roofers Food Service Supervisors Specialized Cleaners Heavy-duty Equipment Mechanics Steamfitters, Pipefitters Surveyor Helpers Industrial Electricians Welders Machinists Ironworkers Industrial Meat Cutters |
